    I used palmers tummy butter. It kept them away for the entire pregnancy but they appeared a week or two after I gave birth. Wish I'd kept using my tummy butter after the birth, it just might have helped. My marks are very minor and only are on the very lower part of my belly. I think I did pretty well seeing that skin at my age (42) is not supposed to be elastic. I have a cousin who had her kids in her early 20's and ended up with the most horrendous stretch marks which she still has. She did not use what I did (wasn't available back then).
