Everyone's bodies are different. Everyone marks differently. You cannot prevent them. You can try and lighten them with coco butter and such but you can't "stop" them.

Yep theres no way unfortunatly. If ur family didnt get em , ur chances are lower. But everyone is different so it doesnt mean u wont have them. Coco butter can make them appear lighter, but nothing can prevent them. Its natural. I am 33 weeks and dont have any on my belly, but I do have some small ones that I got like at 29 weeks on one of my inner thighs, but their not too bad. Hopefully u wont get em, but if ya do, most likely they wont be too bad* tanning later after the baby I hear makes them appear lighter too!

I have stretch marks allover, and i'm not even pregnant! It's just that it runs in the family. I don't really mind them. And I think a lot of people have them...
