I am showing now with my second baby and am using strech mark cream. 3 questions?

Question

Will I be able to not only prevent stretch marks from this baby, but eliminate the sliver ones from my daughter 8 years ago?

Also, I am smaller with this baby, so does that mean less stretch marks this time?

And the last question: What are the chances I will stretch in the same areas?

Answer 1

It doesn't really matter if you are smaller or not, or if you are using stretch mark cream. Stretch marks all have to do with your skin elacticity. There are 2 important factors that contribute to the elacticity of your skin. 1: Genetics. 2: Muscle tone. If it is in your genes to get stretch marks, you will get them. Also, if you do a lot of sit ups or crunches prior to your pregnancy, your elacticity will be increased, and you will be less likely to get stretch marks. The cream is most likely a really good moisturizer. This will aid in the elacticity of the top of your skin, but not throughout your entire epidermis and dermis layer; and since stretch marks start from the inside of your skin (dermis) and come up to the epidermis, the cream won't do much good. It may help to reduce the appearance of your old stretch marks, though.
Good luck.

Answer 2

Will I be able to not only prevent stretch marks from this baby, but eliminate the sliver ones from my daughter 8 years ago? Nope

Also, I am smaller with this baby, so does that mean less stretch marks this time? Nope

And the last question: What are the chances I will stretch in the same areas? 95 to 100%

Answer 3

1. Stretch marks cannot be prevented if you are the kind of person who gets them, sorry its just the luck of the draw. Once you have them they cannot be eliminated only fade from purple angry red marks to what you already have silver ones that are less noticeable. It would be great to be able to eliminate them would it?
2. Your tummy has already stretched so there probably wont be any new ones unless your tummy gets bigger than last time.
3. Like i said you wont get new ones the skin has already been ripped from the stretching causing the marks to begin with. So your skin has the room to stretch without creating new ones.
Good luck.

Answer 4

You will always have stretch marks unless you have expensive plastic surgery like the celebrities do. I'm 23 weeks w/ #2 and hoping I don't get anymore stretch marks either (I am smaller as well). You'll just have to wait and see.

Answer 5

It is all based on the elasticity of your skin. I thought I would be alright, but I have never seen stretch marks as bad as mine. I wish I would have used the cream sooner to help "prevent" but now that I have millions its too hard to turn back. but best of luck to you.

Answer 6

I would say 100 percent, you will stretch in the same areas.
