They grew so fast so I'm not surprised or bothered by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2154886 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:33:54 +0000 Boogs 2154886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My belly is covered. Hoping they at least fade a bit over time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2154846 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:14:36 +0000 mrsrugbee 2154846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Im 5ft4, gained 35lbs with #1 and no marks. I like to think the mama mia belly oil saved me cause I have tons from puberty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2154845 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:13:56 +0000 MrsF 2154845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one from my first pregnancy and no new ones after baby number 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2154840 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:10:18 +0000 PrincessBaby 2154840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just reporting back- I did not get stretch marks with this pregnancy. I delivered at 38w4d and managed to avoid getting any. I had none with my first pregnancy as well. I used Mama Mio belly cream and oil religiously. But also my mom had 3 of us and never got stretch marks, so that could be it too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2119289 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:05:16 +0000 photojane 2119289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I've had stretchies since puberty though, so they really don't bother me. I only gained 24 pounds, but I'm really prone to stretch marks. My mom has them all over too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2119252 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 07:51:56 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2119252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One with my first child (aling with some on my breasts that came inxe my milk came in) and none at all this time with my second. I have really faded ones I got when I developed hips and breasts as a teenager. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2119216 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 07:37:34 +0000 artsyfartsy 2119216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I gained 70 pounds with DS. All over my belly and down my legs. The ones on my belly are practically invisible now. I don't mind them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2119141 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 06:14:45 +0000 ineebee 2119141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just had my baby, and I can finally vote in this! No stretch marks. Phew! But my milk did just come in, so there's potential for stretch marks there... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2119026 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 21:59:00 +0000 yellowbird 2119026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got 2 with lo1 and I have 2 more so far this time at 39 weeks. I'm sure ill get a few more before its all over.</p> <p>I gained 30 lbs the first time and I'm up 25 this time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2119019 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 21:49:13 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2119019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made it to 40+2 without getting any. Then about 3-4 popped up on either hip, and they are still pretty visible a year post partum. Sad face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2112943 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 11:58:36 +0000 sapphire 2112943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None! I consider it my reward for 4.5 hours of pushing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2112731 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 09:35:55 +0000 SadieBee 2112731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping I wouldn't since my mom didn't with 3 kids, but no such luck :bummed: At almost 38 weeks I'm up 36lbs, and I have stretch marks on my breasts, big ones on my hips, and some lighter ones on the underside of my belly. I'm just hoping they'll fade - I had some on my hips from puberty, and you couldn't even see them unless you knew they were there and you were really looking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2112418 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 23:12:11 +0000 littleveesmommy 2112418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None! I was surprised with DD1 since I gained 38 lbs and am 5'4" - I even searched around under my belly button after she was born in case I couldn't see it while pregnant. With DD2 I hoped my luck would continue and it did. I gained 33 lb so a little less but carried a lot more out front like a ball. My mom got a ton of stretch marks from her three pregnancies so not genetics. Just pure luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2112096 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 16:42:19 +0000 whenoceansrise 2112096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. At first I was super bummed out about them, but now I'm okay with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2112092 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 16:36:24 +0000 Ashleigh3388 2112092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any with #1. Currently pregnant with #2 but still to early for that. My sister carried twins to 35 weeks and didn't get any either. Maybe it genetics? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2110652 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:29:35 +0000 farawayyama 2110652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My belly is a subway map.</p> <p>And I had puppps, so when I was pregnant they were bright red, inflamed and angry looking :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2110060 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:09:41 +0000 petunia354 2110060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one really small one near my bellybutton, but I delivered at 34 weeks so not surprising. I have more on my hips from puberty though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2110054 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:05:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 2110054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 I had some light/white ones on my sides, they have stayed but aren't very noticeable. </p> <p>DD2...in my 36th week I got big red marks right down the middle of my stomach, I cried. I'm still pregnant, but I'm hoping they fade pretty quickly! I made it through almost 2 pregnancy with no "tiger stripes" and BAM right when I'm almost done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2110053 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:05:04 +0000 MrsKoala 2110053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, they came 4 days before I went into labor. Wah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2110017 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:49:58 +0000 Modern Daisy 2110017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I am not surprised since my belly has always been accordian-like. It will be totally flat one day but after eating too much sodium I can look 7 months pregnant the next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2109939 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:14:33 +0000 Ash 2109939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep but they honestly don't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2109933 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:12:33 +0000 Smurfette 2109933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them at 37 weeks. They are gone/faded now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2109926 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:09:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2109926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I got a TON from growing, on my hips! They're super long and noticeable too. </p> <p>My stomach is covered in marks,may are my thighs and boobs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2109924 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:08:58 +0000 Astro Bee 2109924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very appropriate timing on this thread. I noticed several really tiny ones yesterday after getting out of the shower. I'm 37w5d, and thought that I had escaped the curse. My mom and her sisters have tons all over. These are right above my public line, and are colourless so far, but still have that weird ripple texture. I have none on the big part of my belly (I look like I'm smuggling a basketball under my shirt), and I'm 5'6" but with a long torso, unlike my mom and aunts, who are all really short. I've also only gained 25 lbs. Darn genetics, anyhow! I was actually feeling mopey about them yesterday, even though I know they are really common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2109922 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:05:26 +0000 mamabolt 2109922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None on my stomach first time but all over my breasts. Hoping to have good luck this time too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1/page/2#post-2109904 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:54:34 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2109904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got two ish with my first and added two more with this second pregnancy. I'm 35 weeks so I've upped my cream usage just in case lol for reasons unknown to me, they seem to only show up on the left half of my belly. Makes for an interesting look lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1#post-2109889 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:47:30 +0000 Mrs. Train 2109889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of them.... All over :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1#post-2109886 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:44:50 +0000 Caly 2109886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: there really must be! Which means you'll most likely come out of this pregnancy unscathed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-stretch-marks-1#post-2109883 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:43:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 2109883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but only a few right below my belly button. I was really lucky! </p>
