For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.My Mrs is very slim, both before and after a nine pounder and has no stretch marks - she puts it down do a special moisturiser she found advertised in one of the baby mags. I have no idea what it is called, but it was �35.00 a bottle and lasted two weeks.
Still, just about the best �700 we've ever spent because (this is just a personal opinion - sorry) I think stretch marks are hideous: right up there alongside varicose veins.

My daughter has stretch marks around her boobs and hips where she gained rapid weight as a teenager(not through pregnancy) and yet I never got any during pregancy and I stretched much more.
She uses bio oil to and the doctor told her that exercise will help tone. She is not at all overweight and it must be all down to personal elasticity of the skin.

I think a lot of it is due to pure luck and having a certain type of skin.I have had 4 pregnancies and not a single stretch mark.With my last child they even brought round a load of med students to my bedside in hospital and asked them to guess whether it was my first pregnancy or not by looking at my tummy - they all got it wrong.!
If you do get them though I believe that they do fade with time,and moisturising certainly wont do any harm.

My stretch marks didn't appear unil I was 38 weeks but then BOOM!! I seemed to get them overnight - I wasn't particularly huge nor was I particularly slim beforehand.
I think it just depends un person to person - check you mum out as the elasticity of your skin is supposed to be genetic!!
Bio Oil is supposed to be good for stretch marks - its about �8.99 for a bottle but you only need a tiny amount.
