With your first, where did you get stretch marks? Have they gotten worse with your second, third etc?
With my first I only had very slight stretch marks on my hips, and i was excited going into my 9th month that I hardly had any. But nearing the end they got deeper and worse and after having my daughter I noticed some on the front of my stomach I never knew we're there. I also got them on my knees (weird) and my chest a bit.

I didn't get any until the very end. Even with the butter cream every day! Lol! My boobs look like an old wrinkled map and I only got a few around my belly button, but they aren't too bad.

My dark stretch marks are all below my belly button. I have light stretch marks on my hips and a little above my belly button. I don't seem to get new ones with new pregnancies. They do get darker and lighten up again after I have the baby.

I didn't get stretch marks until a few weeks before delivery. They are all over my belly, on my sides aka love handles, and my thighs. I'll let you know after this one if they get worse! lol

With my first I got them on my belly button from where my piercing was. I got a couple white little ones on each love handle lol. None on my boobs since they were already bigger. Curious to see what happens this time..

I did not get them until I was pregnant with my son, and I got them all below my belly button, some were deep and wide and dark and some light and thin but they all lightened up after I gave birth. Since this is my first pregnancy after I got them I am unsure as to how they will react or if I will get new ones..

I have been lucky, not any to speak of. I think genetics plays a role ladies! My mom doesn't have any and neither do I!

Yep, it's all genetics. No amount of lotion is going to help if they run in your family. Thankfully, my Mom & sister don't have them. I didn't get them last time, so I'm hoping for the same results.

Luckily I didn't get them with DS. I'm inclined to believe the genetics thing since my mom didn't get them either. Just incase, I still took precautions. I put baby oil on my belly, boobs, thighs and butt every time before I get out of the shower. Once I dry off, I put coco butter on all the same places.
