Stretchmarks

New Mommy 2B

Has anyone started to get stretchmarks?  I am waiting to get them any minute.  I am only 6 months but my belly is so tight it feels like its going to rip.  Is there anything that I can be rubbing on my belly to help maybe not get them as bad.  Thanks for the help!  Hope you ladies have a good evening!

Those beauties have already made a small appearance on my belly. They started as tiny little dots around 14 weeks, and just keep on crawling up. Lovely.

Yep, I have them.  Mostly on the sides of my belly and one right above my belly button. I use Palmers Stretch Mark Cream, but honestly, I don't know how great it's working.

I got my first belly stretchmark this week. I think I'll name it sparky.

The ones on my hips that are already there have gotten the red dot a the top that shows they are growing. blah.

With my first LO i started rubbing Palmers all over at about two months. I believed that if i started doing it early it would help prevent them, and to my belief it did. I also would rub baby oil on in the shower, which i would be very careful with and i got good results.GL

so weirdly enough i have them on my boobs (hate to even think about it) and none on my belly yet, thankfully. i use palmers cocoa butter everyday after the shower and thats it - lets hope it keeps working!!

 fyi though... my doc gave me a sample of a lavendar scented oil called Belli that apparently actually works. take that for what its worth, but it did come from the doc so who knows? it smells great!

I started getting them about three weeks ago and now they are fairly out of control. Oh well what can you do?

Not yet, but my mom and my sister both got them when pregnant and I have some light/small ones from losing/gaining weight so I know it's coming!

I have some on my boobs. I think they appeared around 16ish weeks. I use Burt Bees Belly Butter on my belly.

I got three that made their first appearance this week.    I think bio-oil I use is helping keep my belly moisturized and not feel as itchy.

I got them Friday, and they hurt like HELL! Everyone I've talked to says they aren't supposed to hurt, but they do. Believe me. OW. My doc told me I could use 1% hydrocortisone cream, so I guess I will add that to my new routine of vitamin E oil and cocoa butter applications. I don't want to get any more in case the rest are as painful

i have them. not on my stomach. not on my boobs. but on my thighs!!!! and the other day I noticed them creeping up my booty. its not very cute at all.

I've heard they are hereditary...but while I was pregnant w/ my DS I only got 3 on the sides of my hip. What gives.
