Stretch marks

anta

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I bought Pregnacare cream for my belly and breast - it says that I can safely use it during my pregnancy. Also, had a talk with my mum - she said, she hasn't any stretch marks and never had! It will be observed that my mother had 4 childrens, me and my sister are twins (4,2 kg + 3,6 kg!) and no one stretch mark! Hope I'll be lucky as she, although, my sister twin already has it

My mum didn't get them and my brother was 11lb5oz. She didn't use cream. She was a lot younger than me when she had us though.

Some people can be more prone to stretch marks than others. It is good to keep your skin supple and you will help by rubbing oils and creams but it is no guarantee.

You will love stroking your tummy anyway especially when he baby starts move.

It does worry me! My son was 10lb 4 (or 5? I forget) and my grandpa was 12lbs. I hear the second baby is usually larger. I really really don't fancy a 12lber next time. _pale_

I didn't get them and my babies were all over 9lb. My waistline went from 22ins to 44 ins.

I didn't use any creams so I think it's just luck.

Congratulations :T :T

Edit: asked my mum and she said 10lb 5, for all the difference that makes. Still bloomin' hurt either way!
