It happened to be where they needed to make an incision for my laproscopy, so it's now just a scar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1714051 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 13:36:29 +0000 allison 1714051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I got tons of stretch marks during puberty (on boobs, thighs, hips), but got only one tiny one on my huge belly, first pregnancy. Baby was 8.9 lbs and I'm 5'1". Soooo. I don't know what this means. My mom has stretch marks, too. I was sure I would get them last time around. Crossing my fingers for this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1714032 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 13:20:18 +0000 winniebee 1714032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I should add that I have some on my hips from puberty but they are white now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1714031 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 13:19:32 +0000 winniebee 1714031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: my mom had 4 kids and got none!

I had 3 from R and those became larger as well as getting some on the lower portion of my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1711486 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 22:43:52 +0000 SAHM0811 1711486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them more near the end of my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies, but they've faded away fast after birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1711485 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 22:42:21 +0000 luckypenny 1711485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1711481 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 22:41:07 +0000 Ree723 1711481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Two very normal sized babies later (7 lbs 6 oz, and 8 lbs 2 oz) and I still have never had even a hint of a stretch mark. I come from a line of good genes - my mom had three kids and never had a stretch mark either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1711461 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 22:25:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1711461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. </p> <p>I only get them on my hips with W....3-4 on each side. </p> <p>After M, the entire lower portion of my stomach is covered in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1711436 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 21:56:15 +0000 coopsmama 1711436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I've gotten quite a few more this second pregnancy, too. It's really frustrating because I already thought my belly was pretty well stretched out -- guess not. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1711408 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 21:38:45 +0000 autumnlove 1711408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had a few after my first and I have tons under my belly button after my second! Gained less weight (15 vs 33lbs) but I guess stretching out twice was bad for my skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1711394 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 21:29:09 +0000 winniebee 1711394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: I'm banking on small<br /> Children :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-with-your-first#post-1711376 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 21:20:27 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1711376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following too.
