I used Burt's Mama Bee Belly Cream, and almond oil, but I'm not not sure those products helped, or if I just got lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-didnt-get-stretch-marks-w1#post-1086391 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 20:08:30 +0000 Pink Champagne 1086391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom got tons of stretch marks but I didn't get any with #1. I used Mama Mio Tummy Butter (so did a bunch of my friends- we are 4 for 4 with no stretch marks and one had twins!). So I think good moisturizer can help. I hope none with #2 but we will see! I am slathering on the butter every day in hopes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-didnt-get-stretch-marks-w1#post-1086282 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:30:58 +0000 Ree723 1086282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 20 weeks into my pregnancy with baby #2 and did not get any stretch marks with my first. I am choosing to believe that you are either genetically predisposed to them or you are not. I am not (no one in my family has them) so therefore, I like to think I'm in the clear. I'll let you all know how it goes in 20 weeks or so! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-didnt-get-stretch-marks-w1#post-1086037 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 16:06:44 +0000 luckypenny 1086037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any with #1 and I gained 70 lbs! Hoping that since I plan on gaining much less this time around I won't get any either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-didnt-get-stretch-marks-w1#post-1085951 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 15:33:50 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1085951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little worried about getting them with #2! If all works out with this pregnancy, I'll let you know how it goes :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-didnt-get-stretch-marks-w1#post-1085939 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 15:31:13 +0000 GrapeCrush 1085939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got through both of my pregnancies stretch mark free! I was worried a out getting them for #2 since the pregnancies were so close. I also did nothing to prevent them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-didnt-get-stretch-marks-w1#post-1085846 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 14:57:08 +0000 Rubies 1085846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any with #1. I'm 37 weeks with #2 and don't have any either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-didnt-get-stretch-marks-w1#post-1085843 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 14:55:32 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1085843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any with #1 or #2. Haha. It would have been weird if I got some with #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-didnt-get-stretch-marks-w1#post-1085833 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 14:51:00 +0000 deerylou 1085833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>....did you get any with #2, or subsequent pregnancies?</p> <p>I walked away from my pregnancy with DD without any stretch marks (that I can see, anyway). I also didn't really experience the tummy skin sag that I assumed was just a given after delivery. While the potential of either would never detour me from future pregnancies, I'm curious what other moms experienced, especially because noticing these skin changes during/right after pregnancy is so much more common than not. </p>
