Prevent Stretch marks?

[fynemum]

Does anyone have suggestions on how to prevent stretch marks?
If it's cream recomended what kind? Were do i get it? When do i start using it?
I got stretch marks with my first born, but my second turned me into a road map, They have all fadded now(13 yrs later) but i am worried I will be covered this time, so i thought i would try to prevent them.... help....
Thank you

I used tescos cocoa butter moisturiser with Ella and didn't get any on my tum (though could all go pear shaped this time!). Apparently if you're going to get them you'll get them regardless, but I have faded ones on my hips, thighs and breasts from puberty and was expecting them but luckily avoided them first time round. Am sure the moisturising helped

EEK! well the wrinkles aint too far away either, just my luck.. wrinkled and fat in one. Well thats cheered me up no end
I will not accept it gracefully, i am off to tesco for the cocoa butter mosturiser and give it a bash...
stretch marks, varicous veins and now wrinkles... mature mum moaning... hey it's the price some of us have to pay i guess, but worth it all
Thank you for the tip, any others would be appreciated

cocoa butter worked on my bump too (until I went overdue ) but my biggest tip is DONT FORGET YOUR BOOBS!!

My belly stayed super smooth but my boobs look like road maps!
