hi I was wondering if any of you have gotten stretch marks during your second trimester? And if you have can you describe what they looked like when they started.. I have not been itching and have been moisturizing but I found something that looks like a tiny cut on the front of my stomach and now I'm getting worried I'm not doing enough to stop them. As we are in Alaska the weather is very dry and the water quality isn't great. Also with that said I'm limited on what I can buy that doesn't need to be ordered.
Re: Stretch marks
It's completely normal to start getting stretch marks in your second trimester and you will find yourself getting even more in your third as your belly starts stretching to make room for baby.
It does help to keep your skin hydrated and lotioned, but no amount of lotion will stop them from happening.
Do they suck? Yes, but it's just part of the pregnancy package.
Just keep it hydrated for your own relief. Tummy Butter or shea butter is good.

Odds are are if your getting them already you might continue getting them, sorry to say. Try not to focus too much on them. They are all for a great reason! Good luck and stay hydrated/moisturized!
