Q: What Do You Think About...
asked by: November_Mommy05 on January 18th, 2007

A girl who is only 18 and already has a 1 year old daughter, and wants another baby? I seriously am considering getting pregnant within the next year, but I don't want the toll it may take on my body - after finally getting rid of all, yes all my stretch marks, and getting my stomach firmed back up. Most importantly, I love my daughter, she is my life... But i'm putting both the negative and postive effects into consideration. I know I want 1 or 2 more children, and I def. Don't want my daughter's sibling(s) to be so far apart in age that they don't have a real close bond as they grow older. And with a new baby, she won't have all my attn. Anymore.. I think I need to just wait a few years, she is so cute and funny. I was barely able to type this.. B/c she kept pushing the keyboard in.. Lol. Kids... The greatest joy in life, atleast mine :d

love, love-*

I would say wait abit, you havnt hit the terrible twos yet... Can u handle a toddler and a baby at the same time? U wont have much sleep because the toddler wont let u nap during the day, so unless uplan on putting her in daycare I would say wait, plus do u want to be done having kids at 19? 20?

.You should definetly wait it out. .Me an my brother are about 6 years apart and we are extremely close and my boyfriend and his brother are only 2 years apart and never speak to each other. .Age is not the main factor in determining closeness, it is all in how you raise them and having two young children can be very tough.

Whats the rush? Arent you the one who has intimacy issues currently? Youre so so young and you have so much time to have another...I think you should work on being the best you can be ..Hell, I just had my 1st baby and i'm 30yrs old!

By the way do you have a secret formula on getting rid of stretch marks cause they never go away permanentely they just turn silvery white...Whats the secret?

I would proly say wait a lil bit because if you have 1 child already thats alot of responsibility...And you need to give it your full attention...But if you get another one after one year then you'll go through the 9 months with it in ur stomach and it will be more stressful becuase the one you have now needs attention...I would say wait a lil bit so it wont be as stressful....But what ever you decide I wish you the best..Take care

Laughing it's lotion that cost about $150 to $200, my fiance bought it for me. I think it's called stri-vectin. Don't quote me on that though, i'm in class right now.. I'll be sure of myself when I get home. & yes, it works.. Mine are completely gone, now! I was very determined to find something, and my baby helped me. I feel so much better about myself, now.

I'm pretty sure, i've already made up my mind... I'm going to wait. I believe my daughter deserves all my attn. & i'm going to begin college in the fall to hopefully someday become a crime scene investigator. That in itself is going to take a lot a attn. Away from her, and another baby? Wow, I wouldn't even be able to go to school. Anyways, thanks a lot... I can't do that yet, not to my daughter... Or myself.

i don't know how the stuf works, I just know that it says on the bottle that 97% of all people have success rates, and it can get rid of or greatly reduce your stretch marks no matter what; color, depth, ect. My stretch marks weren't too bad to begin with, but now their gone! **swear**

good on you girl (and good on the sharks who persuaded you to part with $200). Fact is, there is no treatment for stretch marks. Stretch marks are a break in the collagen connective tissue in the skin, applying anything cannot re-connect it. If you have true stretch marks the best you can do is mask them. That is a fact. If I manage to find this brilliant factual site I discovered recently I will post the link here.

actually my aunt had bad stretch marks and I got her some stri vectin from my work (i used to work at the lancome makeup counter at marshall fields) and they are all gone. The stuff is that expensive for a reason. It works.

Oh dear.

You can not get rid of stretch marks.
They can be significantly faded and shrunk but you can not get rid of them.

They are a break down in your skins elastic tissues - it is permanent and can not be fixed.

Just like split ends - they can not be fixed.
