Unfortunately: no products are available to prevent stretch marks, however some say that they do. As far as stretch marks post delivery, they substantially get better with time but there are lasers to help get rid of them. Speak to your cosmetic or plastic surgeon about options. Best of luck!

"stretch marks": Stretch marks are really breaks in the supporting tissue under the skin, and as such represent scar tissue. Most are related to increased fat deposits under the skin, and aside from keeping your weight gain as per your healthcare adviser, there is not any known "cure" including laser treatments, which are expensive and only "shrink" the marks, but do not remove them completely.
