As you gain weight during pregnancy and your skin stretches, small tears can be created in the collagen leading to stretchmarks. Unfortunately very little can be done to prevent this happening - some women get them and some women don't. Nonetheless using a moisturising cream might just help, and it certainly feels good and calms the skin. If you do have stretchmarks, don't despair. While they can look red and angry at first, they fade incredibly quickly.
