I think the other thing to think about is getting going with the cream or oil as soon as you know you are pregnant. As I mentioned previously vitamin E is good for this and for all scarring and skin marks. Rubbing oil or cream in will keep the skin supple and allow it to stretch more easily and hopefully without the stretch marks or at least with reduced stretch marks. This is definitely a case of a little prevention being worth a lot of cure. Give it a try!
