anybody got stretch marks yet?

Question

I'm 29 weeks tomorrow, due April 12th, and have noticed in the last week that the tops of my stretchies from previous weight gain have started to go pink/purple again, and I've also noticed a couple new small purple marks on my tummy and one on my boob. Judging by my disappointment I think I may have convinced myself too well that I won't get any new marks at least if I kept using my bio oil. Guess not 😔 I'm not the only one am I? I know I'm just going to have to change my mindset to thinking of them as marks to be proud of, because they mean my body is doing something amazing, which I'm super grateful for, but not gonna lie, all the markless 40 week bumps on instagram I see had my expectations higher lol.

Answer

I had stretch marks already from a previous twin pregnancy. Mines gots lighter after awhile but now with this pregnancy the ones at the top of my belly are turning purple as well. I stopped caring a long time ago lol you can put as much lotion and oils as you want but if they are going to come they will come regardless! I use to feel self conscious about them but now I just don't care. My husband loves me and my body that's all that matters. Don't stress beautiful mama!

Definitely, I've used bio oil, coconut oil,coco butter, and no scratching. I've gotten them on my boobs, tummy, love handles, and all of my inner thighs from my knees up 😪

Just trying to accept it

Answer

They go really light after anyway. These women on Instagram also use good filters remember, and the stretch marks can be blurred out. I know some women who have had babies and they look amazing after, with or without stretch marks 😀 make sure you drink lots of water to keep the skin hidrated and good foods will help the elasticity of the skin x

Answer

Markless bumps on insta mean nothing! Remember, it's literally a program designed to make your photos look nicer/smoother.

I'm stretch mark free at 31w but baby gains so rapidly at the end that we can still get them in the last days despite how much oil we've put on

Answer

On both breasts. Just noticed more today.

Answer

My first pregnancy I gained 50 pounds and had a ton of stretch marks. My second pregnancy I only gained 35 and didn't get any new ones. This pregnancy I'm at the same weight I was with my first, so I MAY get new ones if I get bigger than I was with my first. Are you heavier or carrying bigger with this baby? Typically you shouldn't get new ones if you don't get bigger than your biggest pregnancy.

Answer

Tons on my boobs, seriously TONS. None anywhere else yet. I'm sporadically using bio oil but I think it's gonna be more about how fast any one part stretches and my genetics than any product really helping 😝

I already had a bunch from puberty on my hips so I'm not overly concerned. I'm used to them when they're white but when they're fresh they are alarming looking!

Answer

Got them on my inner thighs and two or three on lower belly not very noticable

Answer

Just a couple tiny ones on my under boob lmfao
