With LO2 (gained ~55 lbs) I got some on my calves/behind my knee area and a couple on my hips :(. None on my belly but my legs were super swollen and I didn't moisturize them as religiously as my belly since I didn't think my legs would get stretch marks. It sucks but oh well~~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160388 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 05:05:04 +0000 hellobeeboston 2160388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no. This thread is scaring me. I didn't get any the first time, but I'm about 20 weeks and my stomach has been crazy itchy and I think I see one starting already :(. Most of my friends say they got stretch marks second time around too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160329 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 23:03:38 +0000 Corduroy 2160329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 33 weeks but I have worse stretch marks than last time. I didn't get stretch marks until after my due date last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160284 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 21:39:10 +0000 raintreebee 2160284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is depressing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160282 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 21:37:17 +0000 Doodlesmama 2160282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have way more now. I didn't get stretch marks until my due date with #1, I was so upset. This time around I got them early, just adding to the collection I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160272 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 21:17:47 +0000 Mamasig 2160272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: me too! The 1st time it was just my belly. The second time I got them on my upper thighs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160270 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 21:11:38 +0000 SproutBee 2160270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! You'd think we'd be in the clear after surviving our first pregnancy! I foolishly thought my skin would be more "flexible" the second time. Large bottle of Bio-Oil just ordered from Amazon just in case that helped last time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160229 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 20:43:58 +0000 cmomma17 2160229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way worse! :crying: and I got them on my thighs the second time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160207 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 20:15:11 +0000 Mamasig 2160207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I've gotten faint light ones both times. But definitely more the second time even though I gained less weight and wasn't as big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160185 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 19:44:48 +0000 kodybear 2160185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! With my first I had a few under my belly after delivery but they faded pretty fast. The second time around I had/have a lot of angry stretch marks all over my belly starting around the 3rd trimester. I'm 9 months pp so they have faded somewhat but I can still see them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160178 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 19:37:08 +0000 yellowbird 2160178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me!!!! I only got two the first time and they showed up after delivery. I got lots more during the third trimester with #2. He was way bigger </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worse-stretch-marks-in-second-pregnancy#post-2160173 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 19:30:49 +0000 SproutBee 2160173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone get them worse the second time around? With my first, I only got some on the lower belly after delivery. I'm 18 weeks pregnant with #2 and already have a bunch forming throughout my stomach. I'm shocked and depressed. :sad: </p>
