Unfortuantly for women, there is no product that will completely stop stretchmarks. Keep your skin moisturized by using something like Cocoa Butter. That will help. Good Luck and Congrats!

Stretchmarks are caused when your skin stretches faster than the collagen and elastin in your skin are manufactured. Therefore, really nothing you apply topically is going to totally prevent them. You can apply cocoa butter or Vitamin E cream twice a day, but it may not totally keep you from getting stretch marks.
If this is your first baby, you may not even get them.

I would put baby oil on my stomach everyday in the shower with my first pregnancy and that was the only place I did not get stretch marks. With my second I put baby oil every where and I got no new stretch marks! I hope it works for you as well as it did for me!

Nope. Lotions and cocoa butter MIGHT minimize them but you're not going to get rid of them altogether. If you didn't want stretch marks you shouldn't have gotten pregnant, they come with the territory.

Cocoa butter lotion works great!! Rub it on the areas where there are stretch marks consistintley throughout your pregnancy, and it should limit how much shows. Good luck & congrats!

if you're 3 weeks you're not showing anything yet. you can't even take a home pregnancy test that will show positive yet. nothing stops stretchmarks.

Cocoa butter cream. They do have products in the cosmetic department that will help.

I don't think you can prevent them, but I use palmers tummy butter to keep my belly moisturized so it won't be so dry and itchy
