Re: stretch marks

I got them BAD.. I mean REALLY BAD all over my belly. There is honestly nothing you can do to prevent them. I tried creams and nothing worked. The cream did make my belly feel better and not so dry. Hopefully they fade away. I hate them so much. Chat Icon

Re: stretch marks

Unfortunately they are heridetary. If your mom had them, you will have them etc.
There really isn't much you can do to prevent them if they are a part of your genetics.

Re: stretch marks

My mom and sister each had 3 kids never got them but I am being safe anyway. I use Queen Helen Cocoa Butter Creme and sometimes Palmer's. I do not care for the smell but want to be safe. I am 35 weeks tomorrow and thank God haven't seen any yet and hope not to!

Re: stretch marks

Mine showed up 3 months into pregnancy and right now they are out of control. I am just praying they go away after the baby is born.

Re: stretch marks

Mine showed up at around 32 weeks also and they S U C K. It's the only thing that I truly hated about pregnancy. But it's ALL genetics. I used creams from DAY ONE, didn't matter. My mom had them so I got them. All her sisters got them, all my cousins got them, I knew I was done for.

During the pg they looked like red claw marks. But they start out as very very faint little silvery dots...they totally snuck up on me.

They are fading alot but I don't think they'll ever fade enough.

Re: stretch marks

Mine showed up around 36 weeks and they are BAD. In my opinion, they are absolutely the worst part of pregnancy because everything else is temporary (the weight gain, the nausea, the moodiness..), but I think the stretch marks are here to stay. I have them ALL OVER my stomach, legs and butt. I HATE THEM!!! Chat Icon

Re: stretch marks

Mine started to show at 32-33 weeks. They started very low and just crawled their way up and up and up...Thank goodness they are not above my bellybutton...If he does not come soon they will eventually get there...Every day I get more and more. Nothing has helped.Chat Icon
