(I didn't really get any with my first pregnancy). Now I've been pregnant all spring/summer, and haven't used anything, and thus far (34w2d) have no stretch marks. I'm not really worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-1066627 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 08:06:22 +0000 MamaBehr 1066627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not after the first pregnancy. I got stretch marks with DD and I figured it didn't work the first time around so it wouldn't work the second time either. I won't with this pregnancy. My stomach is a hot mess of stretch marks, but I never wore a bikini or showed my stomach off before, so I figured there is no reason to start thinking I'm going to show it off after three pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-1066585 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 07:36:22 +0000 GrapeCrush 1066585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't option or use creams on my belly for either pregnancy. I didn't get stretch marks at all. I think it's got a lot to do with genetics </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-1066510 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 06:45:32 +0000 Dandelion 1066510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used regular body lotion after I got out of the shower with S. I didn't get the dark stretch marks...mine came out more white...not sure if that's a hereditary thing. I'll do the same thing for this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-1066490 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 06:26:40 +0000 lamariniere 1066490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used coconut oil the first time and came out with zero stretch marks. I'm using coconut oil again this time and so far so good at 25 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-1065901 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:30:01 +0000 matador84 1065901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did cocoa butter religiously with my first, but I feel like I don't even have time to lotion up with this one. Sad because I think I will have really bad stretch marks too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-1065896 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:28:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1065896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you all wished you would have kept up with it better during the second? I used cocoa butter for my first and still had a lot of skin/marks that didn't go away. I just hope I don't get MoRE after #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-380578 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 23:57:18 +0000 Andrea 380578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little but not as much. I didn't get stretch marks with my first so I guess I am not too worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-378974 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:43:35 +0000 Honeybee 378974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I didn't get any stretch marks with #1, but a few did appear after #2's birth. He was almost a pound bigger than his sister, though, so I think they were inevitable. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-378920 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:26:41 +0000 mrsmenow 378920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used regular lotion with the first two. With #3 I pretty much just put it on after the shower if my skin feels dry, but I got my first stretch mark on my belly last week so maybe I will start using it more:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lotion-or-apply-special-creams-to-your-belly-for-your-second-pregnancy#post-378888 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:20:20 +0000 autumnlove 378888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used cocoa butter on my belly for my first pregnancy and still developed stretch marks around 38 weeks. I haven't lotioned my belly once for this pregnancy...maybe I should start!</p> <p>Did you lotion or apply special creams to your belly for your second pregnancy? </p>
