Did you moisturize your belly and still get stretch marks?

Question

I haven’t moisturized my tummy (21 wks Weds), no stretch marks yet but I did develop some on my hips and thighs.

Answer

Any dermatologist will tell you it’s completely impossible for you to ‘prevent’ stretch marks. Each person is different but your personal elasticity is unique to you and once it’s stretch all it can you will get stretch marks, or not. All you can do is run some cream or body butter so not be to itchy.

Answer

I have stretch marks from before i was pregnant so i can’t tell which is from which- being overweight or just pregnancy😂😩

Answer

Yes, with my first pregnancy I managed not to get any, I was very careful. This time I've been staying moisturized and am hoping to prevent as well. I alternate between Mederma, Palmer's (their lotion for stretch marks), and coconut oil. I always apply a lot on my breasts, belly, butt, and thighs. I also try to stay within the recommended weight gain range, since even with all of that, very rapid weight gain will cause them, or the rapid weightloss PP. So far, almost 19 weeks and I'm still clear 😊

Answer

I did with coconut oil and I only had few stretch marks.

Don’t mind my scars.

Answer

I was so careful about staying hydrated, and I moisturized religiously with my first and I was still covered in stretch marks by delivery. Moisturizer can’t make up for genetic predisposition.

Answer

I moisturized everyday. I thought i was in the clear but nope! Started getting stretch marks at the very end. I checked everyday and noticed the first one when i was 37 weeks. I don’t have very many and you can barely see them now but they’re there. They don’t bother me though. 😊

Answer

I am 33 was and the only stretch marks I have are on the bottom of my breasts. No belly marks at all.

Answer

I have them on my boobs, hips, and butt, and none on my belly. I oil my belly RELIGIOUSLY at least 2x a day and i think it’s done something. My belly is pretty stretched out but not as much as it could be, and I still have none. I don’t really worry about oiling my hips/butt/boobs and those are the places i have stretch marks.

Answer

My belly never got big

^ This was at 34 weeks, I had her at 36+3. But I never got any stretch marks and never put any products on my belly.
