Ok, I am only 7 weeks pregnant and I have actually lost several lbs. I noticed a few stretch marks on my belly a week or so before I found out I was pregnant. so I was only 3-4 weeks. Now, a few days ago I found another small one. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem. I am using the Palmer's Cocoa butter, but at 7 weeks this is nuts!!!

Unfortunately, some people are just more prone to stretch marks due to genetics and skin type. Lotions help, but they don't always work to prevent stretch marks. You're doing your best by moisturizing, but tha'ts all you can do. I had the same problem, and learned on the internet that there is no scientific proof that lotion prevents stretch marks.

If you lost weight you're probably noticing them now because of that. You probably got them as a teen when you had your biggest growth spurt, and since you stayed that size you never noticed them until now.
They happen when the skin stretches faster than it can allow, so it tears and scars. Since you're getting smaller it'd have to be that theyre old, not new.
