Question About Stretch Marks... Posted: 11-16-04 14:46pm
Hey I was just wondering for those of you
that have gotten stretch marks, when did
they start appearing?? And do they ever
go away? Im 30 weeks and havent gotten
any on my belly yet,just a few on my boobs
lol sorry. Do most people start getting
them after 30 weeks? Thanks girls
Well ihavent gotten any....Yet either!
But im only 22 weeks so far, I think they
occur mainly in the latter part of
pregnancy or the last month thats when
most mothers have told me they got theirs

I got one on my side, the day that I went
into labor, and then after I had brooklyn,
I had a couple, but they arent bad at all.
They are hardly noticable... Stretch
marks fade, but they usually dont go
completely away.

I got my first one with my first son when
I was 5 months. It was a big ugly red
mark. Stood out ,too! And as I got
further along, he took over my tummy.
With this baby, I think hes just using the
handme down marks. Because they werent
there awhile ago, but not they are coming
in a silvery color. But sadly they dont
go away either. They just lighten the
color of your skin. :sigh:

It's genetic/hereditary isn't it?
Lotion will just lighten them. They dont
work, omg. Cocoa butter is seriously
false advertisement!

I was getting curious..So I found this.
Stretch marks occur when expanding skin is
stretched to its limit and tiny tears
appear in the supporting layers of skin.
Stretch marks are quite common in
pregnancy; about 50-90% of women will get
stretch marks on their abdomen, breasts,
thighs or buttocks during pregnancy.
What causes stretch marks
your chances of getting pregnancy stretch
marks depend on a number of factors.
Family history makes a difference-if your
mother got stretch marks, chances are
you'll have them too. Ethnicity is
another matter-women with darker skin are
less likely to get stretch marks. Weight
gain and weight loss can also change the
magnitude of your marks. Be sure to keep
yourself hydrated, as this will help your
skin stretch.
What can I do about stretch marks?
The best solution for getting rid of
stretch marks varies from woman to woman.
There are many options available to women
seeking to remove stretch marks. Using a
cream, like cocoa butter cream, can work
by saturating your skin with moisture.
A good way to get rid of stretch marks is
to help repair the collagen and elastin
growth in your skin. Specially formulated
stretch mark creams aim to rebuild the
structure and promote the rejuvenation of
your skin's layers. These natural creams
contain cocoa butter, wheat germ oil and
lanolin to help heal and moisturize your
skin.

Yeah, I think some people just get them
and some dont. I used that cocoa butter
crap every night and I finally started
getting them a few weeks ago. I was so
upset at first, but now I dont really care
they arent that bad

I'm 34 weeks and I havent gotten them
yet...And my mom had them bad. So I dont
believe that hereditary caca. Lol
i doubt I will get them either because I
only have 3 weeks left! But I am
probably just jinxed myself by saying
that. Lol
