Stretch marks while pregnant?

Question

I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow and I only have about 4 small stretch marks below my belly button. Will i get more? I don't have any on my sides or anywhere else. Will I get much bigger in the last 9 weeks?

Answer 1

Yes, you are going to get bigger. I did majority of my growth the last 10 weeks. My stretch marks started at 24 weeks with my 1st pregnancy, by 37 weeks my belly looked like tiger stripes. They are still noticeable 16 months later but not that bad. I'm now 26 weeks with my 2nd and I haven't gotten any new ones thank goodness!!!

Answer 2

Hi, congratulations!

The likelihood is yes, you will, but do take care to reduce the incidence:

Body butter the heck out of your tummy and your upper b*****s (near armpits).

Take your flax oil!!!

Satisfy any itching with a good rubbing of body butter. DO NOT SCRATCH! I actually watched a stretchmark appear as I was scratching my big ol' belly! No scratching! Rub-a-dub-dub, that belly up! Hips too!

Answer 3

as long as ur gettin bigger, yes u will get more, in ur breast and in the stomach  

Answer 4

your stretch marks will increase in size and you will also develop new ones. this is because your baby is doubling his size from now till birth

Answer 5

yes you will get more and you will get much bigger. just keep your cocoa butter nearby and use it often.

good luck and congrats!

Answer 6

It is what it is babe. Don't worry about things you can't control. I wish you well during these last few weeks of pregnancy.

Answer 7

Answer 8

At 30 weeks I noticed a few stretch marks below my belly button and was really upset. Almost 5 weeks on and I haven't got any more :-) This is my second pregnancy as well, first time around I didn't get any marks and put on 30kg. I have gained 20kg so far in this pregnancy. It just depends on genetics and skin type. When I noticed my stretch marks I brought some cream called Trilasten for $120!! who knows if it has worked or if thats all I'm gonna get.

Good luck with your pregnancy and remember it all will be worth it in the end :-)

Answer 9

your baby doubles its weight within that last couple of weeks so ya u will get bigger. ive heard putting cocoa butter on stretch marks helps. but there are other creams out there that might work too..and just so you know stretch marks are scars so you should treat them when they are red.once they turn brown thats it theyre there to stay. good luck

Answer 10

It's hereditary...if your mom had a lot of stretch marks, chances are you will too. Best thing you can do is stay hydrated so that your skin has more elasticity. Vitamin E and cocoa butter lotion won't hurt, but studies show that they really don't prevent stretch marks either.

Answer 11

You will likely get MUCH bigger, and unfortunately I didn't have a single stretch mark until the week I went overdue! All bodies a different, you may be in the clear! I know people that have none!!!
