scratching

do you scratch your belly? And if you do do you have stretch marks?

I dont agree with stretch marks being hereditary.  My mom doesnt have them, my grandmothers never had them but I have 1 aunt that has them and 2 cousins that have them out of about 20. I think it just depends on your skin. Some of us get lucky and others don't.

Stretch marks are hereditary. My mom doesn't have any after 4 kids and I'm having my second child and no stretch marks. I scratch a lot but I usually try to go it over my clothes and I lotion to stay moisturized

I scratch mine all the time at this point i don't see a point in not scratching if its itchy since i'm already covered in streach marks. But if you don't have any try not to scratch and love that lotion
