I really don't want any stretch marks on my tummy after I give birth. Is that possible?

    Nope. You'll get them or not. Nothing can be done to prevent them.

    You better hope you have a lot of elasticity in your skin. I was blessed and have stretch marks everywhere else but my belly.

    My sis with 3 lil ones sent me a bottle of Elemis Japanese Camellia oil. She has olive skin and had no marks... I have fair skin and apparently need to not only rub it on my skin 24/7 but take shots through out the day.

    Yes. On the first day of your 20th, 23rd, 31st, and 34th weeks of your pregnancy, find a mall with a Banana Republic in it. Go into the Banana Republic. Purchase a cardigan (any color will do) in the clearance rack. DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE. I cannot stress this enough. Take it home with you. Find a trash can that is safe to burn items in. Throw three sheets of blank printer paper in the trashcan and light them on fire. On a fourth sheet, draw a picture of a beautiful lizard and throw it in the can. Dip the cardigan in the blood of a virgin from Poughkeepsie and dance slowly around the trash can counterclockwise while singing the national anthem. Drop the cardigan into the fire inside the can. Put the lid on the can. Roll the can down your street while wearing only a pair of mismatched socks. High-five yourself - you will now be stretch-mark free!

    ...Your obviously bored

    What everyone else said. My dermatologist told me it is genetic so to not fret over it. I didn't even bother with lotions or creams because my skin wasn't dry and I didn't care much either way. Now, if I ever get skinny again, you can be sure I will be be drowning in self tanning lotion! lol

    If your destined to get them then you will...lotions and oils just help you to not itch and to keep your skin moisturized. It's very much in your genetics for the most part if you get them or not

    QFP. :)

    Questions with lack of common sense get crazy fun answers from awesome bumpies.

    Also, best way to avoid stretch marks is don't allow your weight to fluctuate, ever, and never get pregnant. Stretch marks are just something to expect. You're growing a human. Your belly is going to grow and stretch. Therefore stretch marks.

    I didn't see your QFP and did it as well expecting a DD. Hahaha. Anyone else noticing at least* one DD a week? If not more?

    I know lots a women who did not get any stretch marks after birth. Your obviously offended because you probably already had stretch marks before you got pregnant. Thanks again.
