Did you try to prevent stretch marks?

Question

Answer

I used 100% virgin coconut oil after every shower for both of my pregnancies. They are 22 months and 6 months old and I didn’t get any stretch marks. It is mostly genetics but staying hydrated, moisturized and gaining weight at a steady pace can help 💕

Answer

I know everyone says it's genetics but I strongly feel if you stay hydrated and moisturize and don't gain a ton of weight you can minimize the amount of stretch marks you get. every woman in my family that has had a child has had those very big deep long stretch marks I try hard to avoid stretch marks and I have my 4 or 5 little ones and I didn't get these until I was 8 months with my second.

Answer

No, because they’re are mainly genetic and can’t be prevented.

Answer

I lotion my belly everyday after my shower. I know if you get stretch marks it's mostly genetic and neither my mom and sister ever had them and I don't either but I'm just trying to help prevent them anyway. Plus it helps with my belly being so itchy from all the stretching.

Answer

My weight fluctuated so much when I was younger that the 6 marks I got while pregnant were not that big a deal to me. 
My sister who has been super thin and in shape her entire life tried her hardest to prevent them but she ended up with a ton.

I used burts bees mama bee belly lotion and tried to gain weight slowly. While stretch makes are genetic, my mom has tons and I ended up with only one tiny one 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I’ve tried to stay hydrated and moisturize but I know I was going to get them. I got them bad during puberty so there’s no way I was going to be able to avoid them now

Answer

If you're going to get em you're going to get em. Nothing will stop that. However,  moisturizing can help them not get all sore and itchy.
