Stretch marks

I gained about 30 lbs and was late, but they never showed up on my stomach. I have heard of people getting them as the weight comes off too. I did use Bio Oil 2x a day, but I really don't think that had anything to do with preventing them. Good luck. Maybe you won't get them!

I could've written this post.

now I'm pregnant with #2 and hoping to escape SM on my belly again. gaining more weight this time, though. so I'm nervous...

Has anyone had them removed successfully? I saw a dermatologist a while back who said that the fraxel laser would help but wouldn't make them go away so I never bothered with the treatment. I really want them gone. Has anyone had any luck?

Got them at 35 weeks. I knew I would get them (lousy genetics), but I was surprised it took so long. Turns out gaining weight slowly throughout the pregnancy does mitigate them somewhat.
