I thought I wouldn't get stretch marks I'm 7 months in and everyday seems like more and more are being created . How long do they take to go away, I've been using coco butter

I'm not a medical professional, but stretch marks are genetic, so if your mother had them, chances are you will get them too. You can just avoid getting really bad/deep ones. My advice would be to keep yourself hydrated, keep a proper nutritional balance to minimize rapid weight gain and to keep re-applying the cocoa butter every few hours. I currently use Bonal and Vaseline. I literally smudge my entire belly with it and do notice that it stays moisturized the entire day. Also try not to scratch your belly when it's itchy. If your doc gives you the green light, you may want to add a collagen supplement to it. Check my other post about supplements. Good luck! x
Edited to add that the stretch marks do fade away after giving birth!
My doctor told me the same thing!
