did you escape both pregnancies with no stretch marks on your belly?

I do think a ton has to do with genetics, but just wondering. Smile

    No stretch marks for me!  It must be genetics...I did nothing to avoid them (no creams, lotions, etc)

    I've never gotten stretch marks either. Neither did my mom when she had me.

    Yup. No stretch marks here! My mother DID have stretch marks, as did my sister...I guess I got lucky!

    I got them my first preg, but used burt's bee belly cream and/or palmers once a day and they went away as I lost my tummy.  Now they're back with preg #2 so I'm doing the same thing, hoping they go away again.

    Nope...my stomach looks like a road map! It is terrible. I am seriously considering plastic surgery (if I can build up the nerve).

    None for me.

    My Mom does have them.

    I consider myself insanely lucky! 

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    Oh, I am so jealous of all you you said that you don't have any.  I think my stretch marks are getting stretch marks now.  I made it to like 36 weeks with DD without any, then it was like overnight - there they were.  This time around I think its going to be really bad. Sad

    I got them with my first pregnancy last year but only the right side of my waist. Weird. I don't know what's going to happen with this one but I hope I don't get them on the front of my stomach. It's easier to hide the sides I think.

    I did not have any for either pregnancy, and I don't believe that my mom did, either.

    I'm too scared to answer this question because I'm still pregnant.  Smile

    I made it all the way to 37 weeks on my 2nd pregnancy before they showed up- I thought I was surely in the clear :(
