Stretch Marks question!

saysay · April 2011

Anyone here hae no stretch marks the first one or two pregnancies but have them now? I ask because I gained about 35lbs each and never got any stretch marks. I'm normally 135lbs. Everyone says its genes, which may be true, but I use cocoa butter 2-3 times a day with both pregnancies. I've been doing the same so far (8 weeks today)...but just so scared I may get some this time.

I gained over 35 pounds with my son and had them everywhere . and with this pregnancy I use cocoa butter more then 3 times a day and I have stretch marks everywhere . my mom got atretch marks with both me and my sister . did your mom have any stretch marks ? im asking cause ive heard that stretch marks arent heredity but like you said you may have the genes to get them .

Im 35, this is my 5th pregnancy and dont have stretch marks on my belly but i do on my thights from previous pregnancy, what i recommend is use a lot of lotion , and if by any chance your belly or ur thights or breast itches dont scratch just rub your hands thru it, bcs scratching gives u stretch marks.

I got stretch marks I put lotion on 2-3 (palmers coco butter) day..and I wasn't even itching at all..so I thought I was good..NOPE..the last month they came out of no where..this pregnancy I'm putting vitamin E and vasline on. Idk about genes..my mom had 3 kids me back to back and no stretch marks!! My cousin just like me got them too and put the lotion on..but her sis didn't get them.

With my daughter (7 years ago) I didn't get one stretch mark, I used coco butter too day and night. I just hope I dont get any with my second.
