weight gain and strectch marks
Did anyone gain close to 50 pounds and NOT get stretch marks. I keep gaining and gaining ,although not really eating that bad . I'm just about 26 weeeks and no marks yet and little POUR mothers special blend on twice a day in hopes of avoiding stretch marks. My mom got a few and I had some very small ones from pubery on my hips but am trying againt all odds to prevent them. I know the more you gain te more likley they are to appear just wondering how everyone here did if they gained a lot?????

Re: weight gain and strectch marks
I have them on my stomach already at 15 weeks. It stinks royally! I haven't gained that much (I don't think) but my skin is stretched. It looks like a cat clawed me.

Re: weight gain and strectch marks
With my last pregnancy I only gained 30-35 pounds and I got stretch marks. I thought I was in the clear because I didn't have any up until about 8 months. They all appeared right at the end.

Re: weight gain and strectch marks
I have gained 18 lbs so far and i dont have any stretch marks on my stomach but i have small stretch marks on my boobs!!!  What's weird is, they haven't even grown that much! I am still wearing the same bras I always wore! I am 28 weeks.... Because of this though, I started using cocoa butter on my stomach everyday and nothing yet!

Re: weight gain and strectch marks
My mom had 7 kids and never got any stretch marks. She showed me too,lucky her. I went through most of my pregnancy (I'm almost 39 weeks now) using lotion and everything I could do not to get stretch marks. I hardly gain any weight either,but in my 35 weeks I notice small marks on my lower belly. I was shock and a little upset. Its gottan a little worse looking but I'm trying except them,I have too. So now I know that no matter what,even if your mom doesn't have them,you Can or will get them. Good luck all.

Re: weight gain and strectch marks
I didnt have any while i was pregnant (I was always looking), but after I gave birth.. now i have, i noticed a week after giving birth to my daughter. i been rubbing Vit.E cream over and it seems to be helping.. It will be DD 3 week birthday tomorrow, and the stretch marks seem to be fading, though i doubt they will go away all together.

Re: weight gain and strectch marks
I gained 45lbs with my first and didn't get any. I gained 20lbs with my second and only got a few tiny ones. I think I got them second time because my weight fluctuated so much in 2 years (my 2 are 15 months apart).

Re: weight gain and strectch marks
with my son, i thought i was homefree and then my best friend asked me about it and BOOM- i got them the next day- literally. i think i was in my 30-31st week. so, i still have a slight appearance of some.....who knows what will happen this time around. hopefully just the same ones stick around- definitely don't need new ones. i call the ones around my belly button my tattoo! haha...they look like a sun going around!

Re: weight gain and strectch marks
I gained more than 50, lost it, and no stretch marks. I didn't use any creams or do anything special during my pregnancy.

Re: weight gain and strectch marks
As others have said, it's all genetics. I gained 30lbs with my pregnancy and no stretch marks. My sister gained 75lbs...no stretch marks. Yet my mom and my older sister both have stretch marks.
