Ok, so I started using Coco Butter on my breasts to prevent stretch marks. It didn't work. I got stretch marks SO bad on my breasts. So for my belly I don't use Coco Butter. I use Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Lotion. I havn't had a single stretch mark on my belly and I am 7 months pregnant *Knock on Wood*. So just a heads up. If coco butter doesn't work, try this.

Don't want to burst your bubble either, but I got stretch marks exactly one week before my ds was born! It sucks, but hopefully your stuff will work! :)

From what I read it all depends on genetics whether you get stretch marks or not. So if your mom had them, you're likley to get them as well.

Ditto. I actually didnt get any on my belly til I went overdue ;) Lotion isnt gonna prevent. If your destined to get em you will. But good luck!!

Well my mom got absolutely NOTHING she looks great but I think I will get them. I gained a lil weight and got stretch marks near my hips. :( It will suck but a baby will be worth it. :wub But I will still try something lol cuz you never know. :D

:yes if you're gonna get them, you're gonna get them. All the creams and lotion in the world wont stop it. I used expensive stuff several times a day and I look like a deflated balloon.

I have gotten them with every baby! With my first 2 babies I had maybe 2 bigger ones down low near my pelvic bone...#3 I carried very high and so I ended up with a few smaller ones all over...same with #4!! They fade and aren't that bad for me, but no lotions or anything helped!! It helps the itching alot!!

Like everyone else said, it's genetics.....lotions and creams don't stop genetics.
I didn't get any stretch marks until (surprise, surprise) my last month....but mine never got that bad...since I already had them on my hips from puberty, they just sorta...blended in. :giggle
