Stretch marks? First time mom.

Question

Am I starting to develop stretch marks? I don’t even know what to look for, but feel like my skin is starting to stretch. It’s okay if I am, but I’m really not even sure how they look when they start. I’ve got extremely fair skin, so they won’t be hard to find. First time mom here 🤷‍♀️ 
If so, what can I do to help? 
30 weeks today!

Answer

I started getting stretch marks (with first pregnancy) at 35 weeks... apparently bio oil is good to use. I don’t think you can really prevent stretch marks tho!

Answer

unfortunately it's up to your genes. no amount of oil or cream will prevent them. I got them quite bad with my first pregnancy but they didn't start like this. I woke up one morning with what felt like a little hole/cut on my belly

Answer

did you ever get stretch marks from this? mine looks like yours

Answer

I've been using a streatch mark cream twice a day since 12 weeks. I swear by it. I am so prone to them and have them on my legs boobs and hips. My family all got them in puberty too. Id suggest using a cream !! Its saving my skin i swear.

Answer

It’s not all about genes! My mom got terrible stretch marks with my brother and I. While I was pregnant, I decided I was going to do everything I could to beat the gene odds and I was successful! I measured 2-3 weeks ahead in the third trimester. My method used was 3-4L of pure water every single day and bio oil mixed with mama bees lotion twice a day.

Answer

I could never see any with my first until after was born then I started to notice them on my inner thighs and a few on my lower belly under my belly button.

Answer

I started getting them around 30 weeks, I've rubbed all kind of lotions and oils on my belly through pregnancy but honestly don't think anything prevents them. I did find my belly got really itchy though, so moisturising really helped!

Answer

I don’t really see anything. I think you are good for now. I had a “stretching” feeling a month ago but nothing has happened since (33 weeks now)

Answer

I’m super fair as well and my first pregnancy mine were bright red when they first came .. like a damn tiger attacked my butt . But now they are white and can’t notice them unless you are examining closely . This second pregnancy I haven’t gotten one new one yet! 36 weeks today I’m praying this last. I’ve been using coconut oil religiously

Answer

My mom gave birth to 6 children without any stretch marks and my sister had her 2 children without stretch marks I am hoping to be the same hopefully 🙏 I am 29 weeks and haven't seen any stretch marks
