Stretch Marks Posted: 01-26-06 19:43pm
I know they tell you that by scratching
your stomach while pregnant you can cause
stretch marks. But does that also imply
to your breast?

Scratching your stomach doesn't cause
stretch marks. Stretching of the skin
causes stretch marks. Your belly grows
at a fast rate and the skin, while very
elastic, sometimes doesn't expand quickly
enough... Same with breasts. I went
from a 32c to a 34f and I do have a few on
my breasts. The bulk of them are on my
lower stomach and upper inner thighs.
Lol... I weighed 106 when I got pregnant
and was 185 by the time I had him. So...
Yeeeeeaaaaah.
Scratching can contribute to stretch
marks, as when you scratch you pull the
already stretching skin, and it can tear
it (my doctor told me this) but I mean
don't be surprised that even though you
don't scratch you get stretch marks. I've
advoiding scratching and if I have to I do
it very lightly and so far I haven't
gotten a single stretch mark, but i've
also used palmers coco butter (not
regularily)...Maybe I am just lucky. The
best of luck to you.
