Do you get stretch marks before you deliver or after?

Question

I don't have any yet and I'm 36 weeks pregnant. Will they show up after I have my baby and my stomach is back to normal?

What happened with you?

Answer 1

stretch marks are also passed down genetically so ask yuor mother gma etc

they eventually fade and a fake tan will always fix them anyhow. i got one with my first child in my 3rd trimester when your belly grows very fast.

Answer 2

A large percentage of pregnant women get stretch marks on their stomach, and more than 75% of women develop stretch marks around the waist, stomach, upper legs, butt and breast during pregnancy. However, even though there are creams to help these stretch marks, pregnant women are advised against using them. These creams have a high vitamin A content, which can really affect a developing fetus.

There are many ways you can help yourself avoid pregnancy stretch marks. Wear a good support bra to avoid stretch marks on your b*****s. Use a body brush to massage the areas where you want to avoid getting stretch marks. The reason stretch marks appear during pregnancy is because of the rapid weight gain some women go through, therefore if you try to avoid gaining too much weight you may be able to avoid stretch marks altogether.

Answer 5

Usually you get them during pregnancy. But if you're lucky you might not get any. I have very little from my first pregnancy and I'm 31wks now and haven't noticed any new ones. Just depends on you.

Answer 6

I believe that everyone who gets stretch marks, get them during the pregnancy, as this occurs when the stretching of the uterus causes your skin to stretch as well. I think the misconception that you don't get them until after delivery is coming from the fact that some women's stretch marks go unnoticed until their stomach is not as stretched and they become more visable. This is what has occured with all three of my pregnancies. My first son I never noticed the marks because they were so low on my abdomen, and I couldn't see them until after I delivered Dylan and my skin wasn't as stretched.

Answer 7

Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day: The first step to begin eliminating stretch marks is to work from the inside out. Drinking a sufficient amount of water is critical, because it ensures your body and tissues are properly hydrated. It also removes toxins from your body.

Consume a Healthy Diet: By eating foods rich in essential fatty acids, such as fish, and protein and citrus rich foods like fruits, nuts and vegetables, your skin will become tighter, softer, and healthier everyday.

Stretch mark cream: By using a stretch mark cream you give your skin the added properties to be able to rejuvenate it self. One of the most recommended creams is from revitol, their cream is one 100% natural and safe and they have a money back guarantee. you can find it at http://www.revitol.site88.net
