Young mamas (less say anywhere up to 25) did you get stretch marks? I thought everyone did, but my mom didn't 😒 I know you can lessen them with moisturiser, not itching and keeping hydrated...I digress...

Question

To be clear - I'm aware there's NOTHING wrong with them! You carried another life! Just curious lol

Answer

They are more genetic. So if your mom didn't get any you probably wont either... but a good moisturizer never hurts. Best of luck 🌹🌹🌹

Answer

Ive always had them

Answer

I was pregnant from 20-21 I didn't get any on my belly or thighs and what not, but got some on my breasts. Those went from small to out of control though 🤔

Answer

I have some above my belly button (the purple marks). They just developed when I hit 39 weeks (39+6 now). Thought I was gonna get out of them, but nope.

Answer

With my first I was 15 and didn't get any, over half way with my second now and still don't have any. My mom was covered chest down in them by the time she was 5 months in her first pregnancy. I use oil and lotion ans drink a lot of water..honestly my skin looks and feels really hydrated 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I only got them on my legs. Like my inner thighs. It can never hurt To use moisturizers!

Answer

Got pregnant at 18 and had my son at 19. I was stretch mark free until 39 weeks. 39w1d, BAM they were suddenly everywhere. Went into labor and had him 39w5d. I didn't moisturize and wasn't drinking as much water as I should have.                                              This second pregnancy, I'm 29. I have been drinking 100 oz from the very beginning, and moisturizing twice daily. 36 weeks hit, and BAM, covered again. I don't care about stretch marks, but I tend to lean towards there's a large genetic composition that goes into play with them.

Answer

I'm 22, Mom and sisters never got stretch marks but my belly looks like a damn road map lol. And I use my cocoa butter every morning and night. I think it's just the luck of the draw 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

They're not just genetic, you can get them from rapid weight gain and loss (pregnancy is usually slow enough to not affect this), and from having dehydrated skin. Drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods with water, and moisturize. I suggest body oil after showers and lotions when dry.

Answer

I have them. They're super light like lighter than my skin but they're shiny so you can def see them. But I also had them before pregnancy 🤷🏽‍♀️
