I got pretty moderate stretch marks with #1, so what I'm wondering is, will I get more with #2?

I'm on #2 also, and I can't imagine getting any more stretch marks. With DS my stretch marks got so bad they actually bled. I really don't want to go thru that again.

I didn't get any stretch marks with DS, but my bellybutton is pretty sorry looking I'm hoping to get no more with this one and that there will be no more saddening of the bellybutton.

Dd1 completely covered me in stretch marks. There's honestly no room for new ones, so I never got anymore with dd2, and I'm sure I won't this time either.

I've gotten more with each pregnancy. I really didn't have much after I had my daughter, tons after I had my son, and a few extras after I had my second son. I'm sure I'll end up with more this time, too.

I wondered this myself. I have so much skin on my stomach naturally, that I didn't get a single stretch mark on my stomach while pregnant the first time. The rest of my body, since rapid growth during puberty, has them, even though I "supposedly" weigh less than the average adult, I'm like a tiger, everywhere but my stomach. I hope I can keep at least one part of my body, stripe free.

I'm really nervous about this. I didn't get any with my first which shocked me because my mom and all my sisters have them something awful. I'm afraid this pregnancy, they are going to come with a vengeance.

I got a few on the sides of my belly right at the end of my PG and gave birth 9 days early, which I was thankful for from tha perspective. They faded very quickly. I'm expecting about the same this time, although I weigh a little less and hope to not gain as much weight. I also hope that since my PGs are relatively close together and my skin is still looser, that will help. We'll see!

I'm with Leanne I didn't get any on my stomach with DD so I would love to get that lucky again but somehow I don't think I will.

I got all of mine with my first, but that's probably because I gained 60+lbs. With my daughters I didn't gain nearly as much and didn't get any more of them. That seems odd to me now that I think about it, because my third was 9lb 3oz (my biggest) so you'd think I would have gotten a few more just on principle, but I didn't. Or I didn't notice them.

I got one purple stretch mark on my side with Kaitlin. Then after I had her I noticed some really tiny white ones on my lower stomach, but you can't see them unless the skin is more stretched. I'm praying I won't get anymore this time around.

I only got one with DS, it increased in length about a centimeter with DD. I'd gladly take stretch marks if it means I grow my baby to more than 4 lbs this time around.

Although, I really like not having but the one.

I'm already getting them. My body is very suscepitable to stretch marks and I got them bad with my son. I've seen 2 new ones pop up already, but I try not to let them bother me. I don't ever show my stomach so it doesn't matter.
