My friend who is very petite was very concerned about stretch marks. She basically bathed herself in cocoa butter and vitamin e. She has no stretch marks. A lot of times the way you scar is genetic. Another factor is how much weight you gain and how quickly you gain it. If you only gain 20 lbs over 8-9 months, you shouldn't expect many stretch marks.
Anyways, just invest in cocoa butter lotion and maybe some vitamin e and some mederma for afterwards. I used mederma on my boobs after my breast implants and it works great.

i am sorry to inform you, most ladies will at some point in thier lives get stretch marks. i have them and i have had two boys im 21 in a loving relationship but even i started to get really down with them. they do fade and look less noticable over time but i have used bio oil its a little pricey but not that bad as it will fade them alot quicker or even prevent them. so good luck and never be ashamed of them, its a little reminder of the bundle of joy you brought into the world. all the best

Nothing will totally get rid of them, but cocoa butter is the best thing to help fade them.
