I think I've read that each person is prone to stretch marks differently, depending on their types of skin...

However, some of my friends swear by Olive oil or Shea Butter... :-) Just keep things moisturized as much as possible...

I have read that stretch marks are genetic -

I used palmers cocobutter when I was preggo too. My hubby was attment about it, after helping his sister with her first pregnancy.

Here is what I would do.

Get out of the shower and air dry, while i was still slightly damp I would rub coco butter all over the place. When you do this while you are still damp it locks in the moisture. It's a good idea to air dry and then put on loation while still damp with any type of lotion just to lock in the moisture. Anyways, I still ended up with a few strech marks, I think they envitable and it depends on your skin type as well. But I am a firm believer that cocobutter helps!!!!!!!

Good luck!

Nothing you can do but make sure your skin stays hydrated. I love the smell of baby lotion so I put that on my stomach every night before bed. I gained a ton of weight while I was pregnant...looked like I was carrying twins...and got no stretch marks. But I have a friend that only gained 20 pounds her whole pregnancy and had them all over her stomach, breasts and inner thighs. Its all in the genes.
