Stretch Marks
Posted: 08-21-07 23:37pm

First of all, sorry for all the posts... I never thought that I'd have sooo many questions about pregnancy 2nd time around. I have a few stretch marks, extremely faded now... but I was just wondering if with this pregnancy those marks will give this baby the extra room to expand or will I more than likely get more stretch marks, since my body is prone to them? Any experiences w/stretch marks? I imagine the ones I have will slowly start darkening as I get my baby bump.

My first pregnancy I got a ton of stretch marks. Big fat ones. My second pregnancy there was no change in them. You will only get more marks if you get larger than you were before.

For my 1st pregnancy i didnt get any stretch marks besides on my inner thighs but for this pregnancy so far (34.4 weeks) i got 2 little stretch marks on my tummy... i think it depends on how you are carrying your weight...

i think it really depends on the baby and how you aer carrying. if the bump is bigger than your other pergnancy your bound to get more stretch marks and if you get bigger elsewhere your bound to get stretchmarks there aswell.

Thanks! Anyone also know if eating is the main factor in how your baby grows, your weight heightens, & his/her final birth weight? Just out of curiousity, & to improve health-wise this pregnancy.

well you should definatly eat healthy so that the babies body and organs cen grow at their best! you gain weight during your pregnancy that is the placenta, the baby and the fluids. and then some women gain extra pounds as well but all women are different!!!!!!!!
