My mom and sister got them, but I never got any

@a.lares Thank you, that definitely makes the most sense. It being more based on skin types. I have some on my boobs and thighs from puberty so I was hoping that wouldn't be an indication that I would get some now too. I'm only gaining the ideal 1 pound a week so I don't think in growing too fast. Really hoping I will get lucky.

We are 4 of 5 sisters who have had kids and literally everyone is different. One of my sisters looks like her belly was attacked by a tiger. I have another who didn't get any and she used to scratch her belly with a hair comb. And another sister who only got them on her thighs and butt. So I have to say in our case it's not genetics but skin types. I didn't get any during pregnancy but I got them on my boobs during puberty they have since faded.

Yes. It's genetic 🤦‍♀️

No it's not. No one in my family has them other than my cousin who was pregnant with twins. I have them. I didn't get big at all either but I did gain weight. Your skin type has a lot to do with it.

@izzyaspie thank you lol

@spookylyn thanks, that's what I'm hoping for lol

@gorgeousmay42217, u can get stretch marks from weight gain and just ur belly stretching so big when ur pregnant

@tatianaaav @rebelprincesz24 @nvonehrenkrook thank you, mommas. I was really confused because there seem to be a lot of women, like my own mother who say they only got stretch marks with one baby and not the others and I thought if it was due to hormones or genetic it would have happened more than once?

I was told that yes it's genetic. You might not get them as bad as your family members but it's genetic

Not even close, I’ve gotten them from weight gain and pregnancy as well as my sister has gotten em from pregnancy

I think it’s a hit or miss situation. My mom and sister both got bad stretch marks but me I got a few (from pregnancy) but we all got bad ones around our thighs and butt🤷🏻‍♀️ so you never quite know

@melissaortega1995 Do you know if it is based on the hormones or if it is based on weight gain? I tried googling it and it took me all over the place.

Nope

No it’s not
