I got a lot of stretch marks during puberty, so I thought for sure I would get them during pregnancy. Not a single one! Fingers crossed this happens again during my next pregnancy!

I've been using Thyme Maternity stretch mark prevention cream. It's a canadian brand and I really like it. So far I don't have any. I'm not sure if my mom had stretch marks or not from having kids, and I can't ask her because she's no longer with us.
I avoid stretchmarks by avoiding mirrors and generally looking down, lolol.
I have a ton of stretchmarks. All purple and shiny all over my lower abs. I lotioned and oiled through the entire pregnancy but they just exploded out of nowhere in the last couple weeks.

Nothing. I'm in the "you're getting them or you're not" camp and nothing's gonna change it either way. I didn't get any with my 1st, but who knows what will happen. One of my sisters has a ton and got more from her singleton pregnancy than from her twin pregnancy, my other sister got none with her first and a few wirh her second, my mom has a bunch.
I moisturize every day anyway, so that will continue, but I don't plan on doing anything specifically to try to avoid them.
