stretch marks

I have lots of old stretch marks from puberty that are now white/silver and barely noticeable and now at almost 28 weeks they are starting to extend and look red and angry. It was inevitable that I was going to get them (hereditary) I'm just a little concerned that this is quite early on! I'm trying not to worry as it's a natural process/not much I can do about it but I'm still fairly hung up on my old marks. Any opinions/experience/advice?

I have same problem Hun,I'm 34 n I haven't got any on my stomach,my mum n gran never had any so I shouldn't really,but I've for them all down my hips from growing up n the inside of my thighs :s they've started to stretch a bit,but not by much,I've been using Cussons Mum and me stretch mark cream every morning n night n it seems to be keeping them at bay,so maybe try that,and exfoliate belly in the shower as it encourages new skin growth xx
