Stretch marks

[GSYoung]

How do you know when you are going to get them? I'm 22 weeks an I don't scratch my stomach at all cuz I heard that's how you get them I use lotion occasionally I'm worried that all of a sudden I will get them though, hen do they usually start showing up?

Im thirty weeks and no stretch marks yet. I hear ale women get them after the birth and some don't get them at all. It's mostly genetics but staging hydrated and keeping your skin hydrated helps too.

I'm 36 weeks and just started getting some on my belly. I have some on my hips, but those have been there my entire pregnancy.

Yes I agree no lotion or cream or stretch mark preventer is going to work even if you start before you get pregnant I have used lotions all on my body all my life and everything was good till one day at 37 weeks bam they started showing up if you're bound to get them you're going to get them no matter what if you don't then consider yourself lucky

One way to know is when you syart itching. Itching can cause the stretchmarks as I heard from my doctor. My sister in law gave me some cocoa belly butter to prevent them and so far its been working!

I'm 28 weeks with no stretch marks. I hear it's genetics, but something tells me a lot has to do with how you take care of yourself. I work out 4 days a week, drink TONS of water, and lotion up my bump every night - and it seems to be doing the trick. :)

Yea I use lotion for stretch marks since I was 10 weeks and I still got them on my sides!!! I am 38 weeks +1 and I only have them on my sides, not my tummy, it doesn't really matter if you scratch them or not, mine didn't itch, they just showed up... put on as much lotion as you can now, don't wait any longer

I got mine when i was like 12 weeks. I started showing really early i started using all the lotions and creams and they are still worse. They say stretch marks are 75% hereditary so there really isnt much to do

I am 32 weeks and only have 1 on my hip lol. some women don't get them at all.

All mine just appeared one day after I was 22 weeks and I used lotion and oils and everything I could find not to get them. They say stretch marks are unpreventable, it's in your genes if your going to get them you're going to get them no matter what.
