my stretchmarks are making me depressed.. i moisturize daily so im not sure what im doing wrong..i know your suppose to…

Genetics ..even if you moisturize everyday 😕

if u let it take over your mind.. than its gonna take over ur life... listen.. i know it is an ending battle for all woman to love themselves inside and out.. u already have a man who loves u for u (yes?? ) and a child who will love u more than life itself.. so try to not stress so much over stretch marks... thay will go away.. or they will get lighter.. cheer up. . its proof u are a kickass mom..

you can't avoid the stretchies love ..the moisturizing does help to fade them after the pregnancy though.. don't let it consume you .. with the stretchies or not, you're still a beautiful momma ! mines are on my belly, thighs , back of my legs , girl they are everywhere , and it makes life a little more enjoyable accepting them , rather than picking on yourself . trust !! remember , they do fade a ton!! just keep moisturizing. coconut oil helps a lot and so does dribking lots of water !

You have to drink a lot of water.. If you don't gain slowly they will come too.. Eat cucumbers and moisturizer well too

@motherof2taurusboys, hydration has nothing to do with stretch marks, sorry.

mm ommagotbump16, I heard it did drank a gallon a day each preg n the other things none for me n my mom has them

Stretch marks 9 times outta 10 are hereditary:/

@mommagotbump16,

It really is just genetics hon. And each pregnancy is different. I got only a few at the very end of my first, but this time I started getting them 6+ weeks ago. They'll start to fade after a while. Your best bet is to moisturize for now to help with how they feel. As for the mental part, it can be a daily battle. Gotta keep reminding yourself that you're getting something incredible at the end 😊

Hydration in general is good for your skin, but stretch marks are genetics combined with how baby/your body is growing. I got stretch marks on my boobs 1st pregnancy, for example, and they had barely gotten bigger. @motherof2taurusboys

i moisturize and drink plentyyyy of water.. its just stressful when you always have taken care of your body..not sure how to handle the change

Healthy diet, exercise, lots of water, and moisturizing is supposed to help prevent/reduce them. You may be bound to have them regardless because of genetics but you can reduce the severity and help your skin heal afterwards so they are less noticeable by taking care of your skin.

@mommagotbump16, oh ok it just seemed to work for me Bc if I didn't stay consisted my stomach would itch but as long As I moisturized and drank water I was fine
