  • Lol!!!! They have genetic factors but stretch marks occur bc your skin cnt produce collagen fast enough to keep up with the rapid growth.

    Try to use lotions that helps with collagen formation.
  • Maybe they're coming from your Dad's side? I'm 38 weeks and only have one little one, and my sister is 34 weeks and covered in them... so who knows! I use Bio Oil after every shower. It's awesome!
  • Good idea...I've been using cocoa butter, and I came to terms with the ones on my hips figuring if that was the only place I could deal with it. But just now discovered them on the underside of my belly and on my thighs by my bikini line. My thighs haven't gotten any bigger Wtf!! Ugh this is gonna ruin my day.
  • Im srry hun! I'm praying I can dodge them!
  • Stretch marks suck.
  • Just wait they come for the boobs too!! Luckily they do fade to a silvery color which is nice then fade to just a texture. Hopefully disappear one day not sure

  • I guess I should have seen them coming since I got them during puberty. And those are hardly noticeable anymore. Ugh I'm just having one of those days I feel huge and gross lol I'll get over it
