Stretch Marks ?

[Tina]

Anyone not get any stretch marks on their belly?

With my first one I didn't get any, only on my hips.. I know there's no way to tell for the next one, but anybody know of woman who just never got them on their bellies?

I didn't get any on my belly, just on my hips and boobs. Of course they have faded over time. :happy:

i have a few teeny ones on my lower belly which actually isn't too bad after 4 babies ;)

[Inatic]

lucky!

I have severe stretch marks from 5 babies/pregnacies that im going to have "tucked" in the beginning of Aug. I want to see my abs that are hidden away.

that's great! my sister had her tummy done too - she had really really terrible stretch marks. they are still there because they were so extensive but she is really happy anyway :)

I only got 2 very small ones on each side and you can't see them really. Got 'em everywhere else though :dry:

[Pinky]

The only ones that I got, started at my belly button, from my piercing. I often wonder if I would have got them, had I not had my navel pierced.

I got alot of them on my belly, boobs, hips thighs you name it all from my first child but got none from the second

[christie]

I have them every where BUT there!! :lol:

my mom never got stretch marks on her stomach. not after 2 babies, and not even after losing 80 lbs a couple years ago. I'm hoping that I get that part of her genetics.

I only got them on my hips.

I have a few friends who were blessed with the no stretch mark gene even after several(3-5) pregnancies. I myself got a few from my first pregnancy on my belly and boobs, but never got any more with my 3 susequent pregnancies.

I've none one my belly but hips, arms and boobs (if thats what you wanna call them) have them :curse:

[Tina]

ya that's very normal. Most woman have them on either or boobs, hips, thighs..arms etc from growing.

I have them on my belly. When I was pregnant the 1st time, I was soo huge, I'm only 5'1 1/2" and my stomach looked like a road map by the time I had my daughter. :mad:

[rogmel]

NONE, after three babies...however...my skin seems "looser" after this last one.....like chicken skin....gross!!!!!! Hoping it goes away....it's only been 7 months..... :baby:

I have stretch marks on my hips from getting hips as a teenager..

From pregnancy most of the ones I got were really low on my belly (that I didn't know I even had for a while because I couldn't see them) and above my belly button. I have a few on the sides of my stomach, but they are not very noticeable. So far with this pregnancy I don't think I have any new ones, but my belly stretching out again sure makes the old ones look yucky :( I really disliked having loose skin more than the stretch marks. I hope it's not too bad after this child is born.

Has anyone tried rubbing vitamin E cream on their belly whilt pregnant? I've hrad that works for preventing them but I have no idea if it works.

Streach marks occur way below the surface of the skin and no magic cream concoction will stop them from occurring. It is genetic and a result of the elasticity of your skin. Check out your mom or sisters sometimes that can let you know if you'll get them too.

true- genetics determines whether or not you'll get them.. but it's still fine to use the creams- I have heard that as your belly stretches it gets really itchy and uncomfortable, so lotion, especially vitamin E can really help moisturize.

I have even seen them on males that are really muscular or have gotten fat. Usually up near their pecs.

my older brother and dad have them on their shoulders like you mentioned. happened in highschool during football when they started putting on muscle like crazy.
