Strech Marks Question

[Ladybird]

Hello Ladies!

Have finally decided to post (I'm 11w5d) as I'm sure one of you will be able to answer this question! This is my 2nd preg (DD9yrs) I'm a size 22 and got strech marks during 1st preg that have now faded. Question is...will I get a second dose of strech marks?

Thanks for taking the time to read this - you're all great and I'm really pleased to be joining you! Ladybird x

Hi hun welcome to the forum and huge congrats the girls are lovely here.

Im not sure about your question but i think it could possibly come up again but dont quote me on that,

Have a great pregnancy hun

 

[Ladybird]

Wow! Someone answered! Thanks!

I am enjoying the preg so far despite the usual worries! Can't wait until the scan on Tue, then I want things to slow down so I can enjoy them!

for you too, and good luck with your pregnancy.

Thanks for your replies.

My DD was born at 33 weeks so I didn't get too huge with her. Hopefully with this LO I'll get a lot closer to 40 weeks. At least I know now more stretch marks are likely - it's good to be prepaired!

Hi Hun,

I believe that the main reason for stretch marks is that the skin in dehydrated so make sure you drink plenty of water throughout your pregnancy and also a cocco butter cream may help, ive started using one from mothercare specifically for stretchmarks

Hope that helps x

Thanks for that info.

I've got some Palmers coco butter, but so far although not unpleasant, I've found the smell a bit strong. I always have DD with me when shopping so haven't bought any preg related stuff. We're telling her today - she's 9! So I think we'll be hitting Mothercare on Sat now I've had my 12wk scan!

And I'm not a great water drinker, but what better reason!

Thanks!

I found Palmers Coco butter for stretch marks just make me (the smell of it for some reason) I usually like coco butter. Anyway I switched to bio oil, it's great although I do now (at 30 weeks) have marks appearing but I suppose it's all in a good cause, my pregnancy service stripes and my little boy will be more than worth a few marks, not like mummy was a supermodel before the pregnancy anyway!!
