stretch marks >.<

I'm 19 weeks pregnant.This is my first pregnancy. And I was wondering when do stretch marks start to come out??? I'm currently using cocoa butter. I hope that works cause I don't want any stretch marks . I feel like I'm gonna be very insecure with my body. :(

Lol to morganraquel um celebrities could get stretch marks lol they're humans like everyone else. Of course they have the money to go laser them  and do all they want to their body. Doesn't mean they aren't prone to them

Omg I didn't know that cocoa butter was bad. My older sister gave that to me because she used to use it when she was pregnant. Thanks for all the suggestions ladies (:

Strech marks are completely avoidable and not hereditary! Is it just a coincidence that no celebrities have them? They don't all have perfect genes. Drink tons of water and use coconut oil and pure vitamin e! Stay hydrated inside out and I promise you won't get them (:

Stretch marks are unfortunately genetics. I'm a small girl and always have been but my bottom and thighs have been covered In stretch marks sense I was in late elementary and middle school. I'm currently 21 weeks and only have them on one boob (weird I know) using any lotion that is moisturizing like baby lotion or coco butter will help what it can and it will help the itching. If it was possible, you could take a bath in this stuff every day of your pregnancy and still get stretch marks.  And some people don't get any at all! It's all about your body. Everyone is different

I'm 29 weeks and I still don't have stretch marks I use Johnson and Johnson baby lotion because my doctor advised me against cocoa butter because it has caffeine in it and can cause the babies heart to murmer
