I'm only 15 weeks with my first pregnancy, so can't really say whether it will work or not, but my mum, nan and grandma and 3 of my aunts all used normal sorbelene moisturiser right throughout their pregnancies and not one of them got stretch marks. I've been putting it on every night after my shower just in case it is a miracle cream. lol. I've heard though that it can be hereditary, getting stretch marks, so maybe the family just has good genes.Not sure how true that theory is though.
