More Stretch marks with 2nd baby?

Question

Did you guys develop more stretch marks with your 2nd did the old ones get worse? We really have been thinking about having our 2nd but I’m so afraid my stretch marks will get worse and or I will get more that go up past my abdomen this time.

Answer

I got wrecked with my first and it all happened in the last five weeks. I’m scared this time...lol 
Surely it can’t be worse right? The skin already ripped and is looser now. I sure hope it’s not as bad as last time. 
Commenting so I can read the replies

Answer

I’ve gained only half the weight from my previous pregnancy, therefore my stretchmarks aren’t as bad. I even feel like the body is recycling the old ones. 
But I’ve been more careful this pregnancy with my habits, and it’s week 34 and I’m still cycling. 
So not sure what to tell you, if stretchmarks will affect you a lot emotionally better not run the risk. Because then you’ll have to deal with that and a whole new human for at least 18 years.

Answer

I had a tiger belly with my first 😂😂 they lighten up A LOT over the years. I’m currently 17 weeks &5 days with the 2nd. One thing I never did with the first is make sure my stomach was well moisturized consistently. My skin on my belly would dry out so fast  and get itchy. This time I’ve been very consistent with making sure I have my skin moisturized at all times. I apply lotion twice a day now and bio oil to my stomach and lower back since those areas are my biggest concerns. Hope that helps.
