Baby oil when you get out the shower before drying skin ... then coca butter .

I used it on first pregnancy and got none.. until after birth I got one pink line on my side/hip .

Second pregnancy now & I've three (1 is from 1st pregnancy) all on my hip!
None on my bum legs etc :)

I don't believe they are hereditary. .. my sister was ripped with stretch marks and my mam.
so unless I'm not actually related to them :/

Use Papaya!!! It really works I had some on my butt, hips, and thighs and they have been slowly disapearing. I usually liquify it and rub it on those parts of my body. Wait 20-30 mins & then take a shower try it!!!!#

Buy mum to be products!!!! They are simply amazing!! I got a few marks on my butt but this firming cream made them go away completely! You have to rub deeply and a bit rough but it a miracle worker and it doesn't smell like cocoa butter. It's not that expensive either! :)

You can't prevent stretch marks there hereditary but you can use stuff to prevent them from getting bad and deep

Right now I'm just using st. Ives lotion with vitamin E. Lots of other people use bio oil which is specifically for stretch marks and scars. And others use vitamin E and just cut them open and rub it on themselves.
