Girl, I do not see any stretch marks on you! You look awesome!!! The only thing you can do is to stay hydrated and lotion up after showers. There is really no cure for them, you'll either get em or ya wont. :) But you look great!!!

I've heard Mederma should help......it is a topical treatment for scars. You can get is over the counter at like walmart or a drug store. But who knows. :) Some people swear by cocoa butter....but I had them when I was younger from weight gain and they are still there! Fun!

My cousin swears that this cream from Avon works to fade them (not get rid of them but reduce the appearance). They make one FOR stretch marks but she says get the one that is for cellulite(sp) & use it on them-she also said it helped the spider veins on her legs.

i dont really think you can - some people have better skin than others. I was HUGE when i was preggo - i gained over 80 pounds with each of my kids and have only a few that you can see if you look real hard. My sister on the other hand looks like Freddy Krueger got ahold of her! her stretch marks are so bad it looks like someone cut her stomach over and over. She gained less than i did with her kids. With that being said, dont freak cuz if you keep your skin soft and moisterize while you are growing you can help the skin stretch easier.

You get them when you gain a lot of weight very quickly and not a gradual gain, ya know what i mean?

They fade with time too so no worries. You dont have them now so keep rubbing your favorite lotion on and you'll be a-ok!!! :)

a dermotologist may be able to help you with that once you have the kiddos...although, my sis had REALLY had stretch marks on her butt and a similar one to you on her stomach and they faded on their own once she stopped breast feeding. I think the hormones make them darker...just give it time!
