Does any one have a good remedy on how to prevent stretch marks? My sis in law said she always kept her tummy oiled with baby oil, and she has no stretch mark in sight and shes 7 months pregnant. She never used that cocoa butter But I dont believe that stuff really works. Does anyone know anything else? Could it be the food u eat also?

stretch marks are primarily a hereditary thing as far as I have read up on them. You either genetically destined to get them or not. It all just depends on how elastic your skin is. I do believe that keeping your tummy moisturized can help at least with the itching.

I've heard that rubbing your stomach with mayonnaise can help prevent stretch marks. I don't know if it works or not but you never know lol.

I swear by olive oil!! When I was in nursing school, one of my professors mentioned it to me. With my first, I put in on my tummy morning and night....NO stretch marks. But I DID get them on my hips and butt, surprisingly the area that didnt grow as much, and where I did not put the oil. I am currently 6 months pregnant and doing the same thing...not one yet! So I am assuming it is in my genes, due to the fact that I got them other places ( my mom has some and so does my sister)
Good Luck!

Wow! I will definitly try the olive oil! Well if its hereditary I'll be o.k. because my mom said she didn't have any with all three of us. And she was all belly didn't gain no weight any where else. Neither did my sister. But my husband sister had awful stretch marks and the other sis who is pregnant right now dosen't have any. I guess its just how you take care of yourself. I heard not to ever scratch your belly because that will cause them. Thanks everyone!

I'm 6 months pregnant (2nd child) and I use AMBI... it's a spray bottle with body oil and i spray it on (half a bottle sometimes, I'm terrified of stretch marks) every night when I get out of the bath or shower. You can buy it at walmart......
