I''ll be 21 weeks pregnant in a couple of days.
Nothing has been proven to prevent stretch marks & not everyone that gets pregnant gets them.
I just recently noticed little ones on my boobs, I've been using cocoa butter & a refine stretch mark smoother from avon. It's in a purple bottle & My stretch marks completely disappeared.
Hard to believe? I know.
but Trust me.
It's true & It's working for me.
Before I got pregnant, I weighed like 93 pounds & last time I had a doctors appointment like three weeks ago, I just weighed 104.
It's more common for smaller people to get stretch marks while pregnant, because your skin in tearing from you getting bigger.

You can also get them if you gain and lose
weight. Some people who lift weights can get
them too.
You can get them on your stomach, breasts,
butt or thighs.
You can use coco butter or lotion to help
prevent some of them. It keeps your skin
lubricated a little. It won't stop them all.
Once you get them they may fade over time.
They usually never go away completely.
They are like scars. Your skin is stretched
and damaged. Lotion will help. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
