30 weeks, how can I prevent stretch marks?

Question

I know that I should've probably already started this process but I'm just now starting to itch and stuff. People keep telling me that you still have time to get them also... how did you prevent yours and is it too late for me?

Answer

I got mine at 32 weeks. There's no real prevention but keeping your tummy moisturized can help with the severity. They are hereditary.  I used bio oil, mam bee burts bees lotion, vitamin e, and palmers.  Still got em...but now that I'm 7 months pp the only thing I noticed that lightens them is bio oil!

Answer

You can't prevent them but you can get products to fade them.

Answer

So far coconut oil, Bio oil and reasonable weight gain have done the trick for me. 34+5 and still no stretch marks -- but my mother never got them so it might just be heredity.

Answer

I'm EXTREMELY prone to stretch marks (all over my thighs, upper calves, upper arms, and boobs). And, at 35 weeks, baby oil and Vaseline have done the trick for me. No stretch marks yet...knock on wood!
