You're either going to get them or your not. There is no miracle cream to stop them coming if its in your genes. You can try rubbing cocoa butter into your stomach/thighs/hips/bum and boobs everyday but keep in mind it might not stop them.
be proud of them! They are great reminders for all we have accomplished!

its hereditary you can't help it. you can help them be not so bad i guess i use Palmer's for stretch marks when i get out of the shower. i don't have any on my belly. but i have them on my boobs and a few on my hips. which is the only place my mom has them too.

I used cocoa butter too, like your first responder...and I got lots. The creams do nothing. Genetics and your own skin matter more. Good luck to you.

Sorry to say it but nothing will take them away or prevent them. You can use a creamy body butter to take away the itchiness of them though. After a while, they will fade and not bother you so much. I promise

Its called MUSCLE OIL by Mario Badescu....costs $20. Can buy online from the website or get from Nordstrom or Henri Bendels if you live in NYC...but its better to order online b/c they throw in so many huge samples....works like a charm and smells heavenly...apply twice to you stomach and hips a day....you WILL NOT get stretch marks....read the reviews on the website MARIOBADESCU.COM..

for prevention I used pure raw shea butter from loccitaine.To treat them I've used Avons stretchmark cream with suprisingly good results. Nothing will completely prevent them and only laser surgery will really get rid of them. Alot of it is based on genetics and how big your tummy gets

Use Mama Bee Belly Butter by Burt's Bee. It works great and it's all natural and smells nice - but a very light smell. Good luck!

there is no proven fact that cocoa butter works but people use it all the time, Mederma is also suppose to help, but short of having a tummy tuck and having the stretch marks removed with that or laser surgery there isnt alot you can do, some people are just prone to them
