Stretch marks is part a of our pregnancy and I was very concerned about getting stretch marks when I was pregnant with my first child. I ask my doctor how to prevent this and he gives me only a Belly Oil and I am so grateful that i did, every woman should know about it!

Im about to be seven months & just started getting stretch marks. I’ve used coco-butter & applied it daily so im just assuming that stretch marks appear & dont appear for some people .

I tried everything during my first pregnancy but still got stretch marks … however they do not bother me. They are like a war wound . I am now pregnant a second time and just going with the flow … my body is making a baby so will let my body stretch as it needs. No fussing this time.

My mom has major stretch marks along with all 7 of my aunts… I’m 34 weeks and have been applying hemp oil along with vitamin e oil and still not a stretch mark. My mom can’t even believe it. Hemp it’s natures miracle wether you want to believe it or not…

I think it is a combination of genetics, drinking lots of water, applying lotion and the biggest one NOT to scratch yourself when you itch. If you do have an itch try patting it or applying lotion. I am 5’8 usually 115lbs and on baby number 3. My daughter was 21.5 inches 7lbs and 11 oz and my son was 8lbs and 20.5 inches. The one on the way is expected to be close to 10lbs so I can’t say I am in high hopes of not getting any but I will continue to do as stated above. If I get them I get them, not going to loose any sleep over it. I hope this helps ladies.

I think it has a lot to do with genetics. With my first pregnancy I gained 40 pounds and didn’t get any stretch marks. I am 5’7″ and was120 pounds. I got up to 160. My mom had 3 children and didn’t get one stretch mark. I am pregnant with my second one and still no stretch marks. I just must have a lot of elasticity to my skin.

marks may happen its all a part of being pregnant but there is something you can do about it. working out helps a lot, if you start early. make sure you do exercises that effect the areas of your body that are prone to the stretching. also massaging the skin on your belly, thighs and breast, using oil while massaging to stretch the skin and muscles helps tremendously. make sure you use lotion all the time especially after bathing or swimming and being out in the sun. DO NOT JUST PUT LOTION ON THE BELLY AND BREST, cover your entire body. drinking lots of water ( at least 2 to 3 20oz bottles a day) will also help your skin to stretch easy and mark free. i know this wont help every one but i hope it helps most of you. and just remember that once you do bring your new little one into the world to continue doing this daily until your body is done changing so rapidly, at least 3 months after delivery…. most marks can be prevented and repaired but you have to work hard or else see a doctor about your other options like surgery.

The stretchmark stroy is really about your skin type and genes. With my first pregnancy, i used stretch mark creams, lotions, cocoa butter, everything however in the 8th month, stretch marks appeared everywhere. Now, I am in my 7th month and no new ones yet. I use the creams now and pray, that it will not get worst…….:)

I use Olive oil the whole time during my pregnancy and I have no stretch marks at all, anywhere. I apply it at night after my shower just a thin coat goes a long way.
