I didn't get any stretch marks until the very end of my first and they were pretty minimal. They are hereditary if your mom has them chances are you will too. Try not to gain weight too quickly.

I'm really afriad too, for when I start my family...My skin has no elasticity in it...I have stretch marks on my breasts (but they grew two cup sizes in a summer...) but they have faded, thank god. And I noticed that I have stretch marks on my sides...And i've been the same size now for a few years....And i'm not big so I don't know! So I know i'm screwed! Lol. I want to be like those people that have ten kids without a mark on them! Tears!

Do you get stretch marks more if your smaller before your pregnant? I'm 9 weeks and 3 days.. But im afraid im going to be stretched alot when I get bigger because im not that big to begin with

Hey girl it's me jenifer. I just wanted to show my appreciation for your advice that you gave me today, if you dont mind me asking would you tell me how old you are and how long your mom stayed angry at you.

Me? I am 18 and 20 weeks pregnant... My mom was furious but there was alot behind it she kicked me out the next day and didnt truly speak to me for almost 2 months
only like petty talk or about insurance but now shes so happy she'll liek be out and buy this and that so she adjusted which is good
i think the main thing is that i'm like a little rebel and their original intention was for me to join the navy after highschool which I so didnt wanna do so they thought I got pregnant on purpose... Which I didnt


oh and yeah the cocoa butter helps

It's almost impossible not to get through pregnancy unless you are really lucky. You can get them anytime you gain or lose weight within a short period of time. I got them when I lost weight from running 5 miles everday and I got them when I stopped and gained weight so yeah if you don't get them consider yourself lucky.
