Wow, sounds to me like you have stretch marks and you're extremely bitter about it.

BTW, She says "HELP prevent stretch marks". I didn't hear the word "guarantee" anywhere in that clip. Some women are just prone to get them, but it doesn't hurt to try and "prevent" them.  Jackass.

nothing prevents them. if you're going to have them you'll get them. I'm 37 weeks now and have been applying cream even before I got pregnant. Both Bio-Oil and Palmer's Cocoa Butter which are supposed to be the best. I already had a few under my bust before 35 weeks but was devastated to discover after 36 weeks my first ones on my belly! I eat well and have put on the right pregnancy amount. So ignore this woman please.

My mom had 3 kids and has not 1 stretch mark, that is because her skin is quite elastic. I on the other hand was about 13 when I started to notice stretch marks on my thighs from growing. My skin is not very elastic and I am afraid what it will be like when I have kids T_T

Don't scratch

@luvasia24 it is all about the exercise. That is the only way to prevent stretch marks. And a soft belly massage. Its all about making your skin as elastic as possible, and only exercise and massage can do that.

Using Exuviance Hand and Body lotion can prevent stretch mark effectively. Most moisturiser dry up after 2-3 hours and have to reapply but this one just apply once night and day will keep my skin supple whole day. However of course i don't eat too much too. works on me.
