Hardly any with my first, and a ton with my second. I didn’t gain any more weight the second time. They do fade and aren’t super noticeable anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-marks-in-different-pregnancies#post-2843289 Mon, 03 Sep 2018 20:20:08 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2843289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I had minimal ones with my first and now I’m covered in them. So annoyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-marks-in-different-pregnancies#post-2843287 Mon, 03 Sep 2018 20:10:45 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2843287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the opposite. I got a million wicked stretch marks with my first on my tummy and one on my back and then none with my second. But I don’t think it is possible for me to have any more stretch marks than I have already from how much I grew with my first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-marks-in-different-pregnancies#post-2843156 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 21:50:33 +0000 rattles 2843156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Nothing until a couple small ones after birth with DD1. A hot mess of stetch marks for DD2 :silly: They fade! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-marks-in-different-pregnancies#post-2843080 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 09:26:09 +0000 gotkimchi 2843080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I got none my first and a million my second :( I think everything just stretches out faster and your skin has already lost some elasticity and all that. But I can say they faded quickly after birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-marks-in-different-pregnancies#post-2843077 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 09:08:34 +0000 lilyofthewest 2843077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm feeling bummed and vain about stretch marks. I'm 21 weeks with #2 and I've got big stretch marks (3+"/8+cm long) on my inner thighs and hips and a few small ones on the fronts of my thighs and on the bottom half of my belly. </p> <p>With LO I got one tiny stretch mark (&lt;1cm) sometime in my 41st week. </p> <p>It feels extra unfair because I'm only up 2 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. What gives? </p> <p>Anyone else have such dissimilar experiences in different pregnancies? Or just want to commiserate? </p>
