@alhynele girl yes... you are lucky I've bad real bad dry skin since I was a kid.. no lotion means hives all over lol @delilahsmommy2015 yea my mom had them too.. I don't.. so I don't believe the genetics accusation either!!! but to each is own! @abbymattingly14

Nothing has been proven to prevent stretch marks. Of course moisture helps, but stretch marks are genetic.

@alhynele 😂😂😂

there really is noway to say why or how we get

Unless I'm trying to get lucky 😎

😂😂 I do my shoulders because the lotion smells nice and I know my man will smell it when we cuddle 😂😂 luckily my skin doesn't itch so I'm good. It's winter my body is always covered anyway so I do the bare minimum. 😂😂

@wondermom exactly!! luck lol @alhynele 😂😂😂😂 shoulders really!

@indifferent that's hard to argue too because this is your 2nd baby.. you get bigger faster with your 2nd child usually... just like @babygirl10-11 said 1st baby nothing 2nd baby she has marks

I don't use any lotion and I have none. I'm always to lazy to lotion anywhere below my shoulders lol.

Not getting stretch marks is just a matter of luck, sadly!!! 😩 lol cuz my ass stays moisturize 24/7 and i drink alot of water and i still got em -_- .

I think its more of how fast u gain weight... My previous baby i gained weight slowly ate right walked everyday til i popped ... No stretch marks... Jus left my dr last week n was told im over my weight limit already... This time i work but i eat ALOT of mcdonalds taco bell sonics really anything fast food... N only 34 weeks n ive reached my weight limit n couple days ago discovered 3 stretch marks... So it cant be lotion cuz i never used it the first time but used it this time n got em.. It gotta be how quickly u gain weight.. Skin stretches too far u get marks

@mommy3rmz exactly... some are luckier then others!!!!

Lots of moisture helps prevent stretch marks but it hasn't to be the right moisture

🙌 right here i have seen family members all lotioned up to the point they look greasy n still got strech marks n then theres me who i have a few but after 3 kids i would have imagine alot but nope only got a few on my lower back and they arnt dark n i dont put lotion like crazy i just put the usual moistrizer :)

I don't use lotion I use body butter. and I love it. thick organic body butter helps the itching for me.

@jellybeansmommie yea.. plus my stomach Itchy so I use lotion but shyt.. I scratch too lol smh.. still don't have any @lopez.22 yea people spend a lot of money && be disappointed when they see marks 😑😑 @babygirl10-11 that's what I think gonna happen to me.. I'm lucky this baby but next baby I may not be so lucky

staying hydrated, gaining weight properly, and taking vitamins can help. it's mainly genetics though

i dont think it matters i didnt use any for my fist baby didnt get any but my second baby i stayed rubbing cream on and i got hekka

im with yall girls i dont even put mine on for the same reason everyone is different my cousin told me she would use them since she found out and she has a bunch lol its a waste it just makes my stomach all dam oily lol

I only have 2 and I honestly believe it's in your genes.. but I also think scratching makes them waaaay worse.

@aicnov14 I heard about that.. It can be genetics!!! but I agree I think some lotions will help lighten it but not keep them away

I don't lol.

I think it can help maybe make them not as bad, but alot has to do with genetics I think that's the main thing

I don't really think the lotions work! I used them my whole pregnancy and still got stretch marks which I'm okay with
