It is hereditary ^^ no one in my family has them. We have super skin I guess lol. But I still keep my skin nice and moisturized and drink lots of water.

Good tip is dont scratch! And if you get a really itchy tummy put some oats in a stocking then have a nice warm bath and squeeze the oat juice on you. Its very soothing then when you get out of the bath dont dry properly leave some water on your skin and use a rich moisturizer something like with coconut oil in it is great becaise your skin just eats it up! :)

I didn't have stretch marks with my son now that I'm pregnant again I'm not seeing it yet, I might be lucky. I use Palmer's coco butter (the one in tub).My mom never had either so maybe it hereditary.
