I don't know how you can prevent stretch marks, I've had them since I was a teenager just from growing and 10 years later they've faded a lot with no "treatment". You might find that you're just really prone to them like me. I learned to wear them as a badge of pride, yeah I have stretch marks on my shoulders, but that's just because of my amazing chest haha.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but they really aren't the end of the world and you can say; yeah I have stretch marks on my belly, but look at my amazing baby.

Unfortunately you can’t stop them. I got them when teenager. And was dreading getting them when pregnant, thought I got away with them, then bang 34 weeks pregnant and the horrible things started to appear on belly, then as the weeks went on more and more appeared. I hated them I was using palmers stretch mark cream when I found out I pregnant. But nothing will stop it, I still hate them, but at the end of the day I carried my gorgeous daughter for 9months and they are worth it.

Once baby is here, they don’t look as bad as they do too start with xx
