I know half of us end up with stretch marks no matter what, (😢) but what are some of your favorite products to help prevent them?

Bio oil is amazing. I got one stretch mark under my boob where I forgot to use it and once I started using it there I didn’t get any more and that one faded quite a bit
cocoa butter but honestly they're gonna show up! i've came to terms with my stretch marks, and keeping my body moisturized makes me feel a tad better about them.
It’s genetics babe my mom has 7 kids and none and here I am have a month to go and none for me fingers crossed lol but I still put lather with coconut oil good luck and it’s gonna b ok get your tiger stripes girl
It plays a “roll” it’s not completely genetic or inherited. My mother and sister both suffered terribly with them and I have had zero.
It’s based on many factors including skin type, elasticity, and weak collagen.
Elevated levels of a hormone called glucocorticoids during pregnancy and weight gain causes the collagen and elastin fibres to tear when the skin stretches. Weight gain promotes these hormones which in turn causes the stretch marks to occur. Also happens during puberty (hormone surge) as well as in those who body build like my husband.
I’m on baby 4 and have zero I swear by vitamin e!
@michsmith0266, Life brand from the pharmacy! I just poke a hole in the capsule and rub it on lol
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
Use an oil that that absorbs easily into the skin like jojoba, argan(high in vitamin E), rosehip (my choice), avocado, or olive (may take longer to absorb). Lotions tend to sit on top of the skin and oils like coconut do too. I top my application with burts bees belly butter if im going out and know ill be extra itchy. The purpose is to improve elasticity (drink your fluids) and regeneration of skin cells. It also helps if you apply it right after your shower.
