To ask about stretch marks…

[Sparksi]

I had loads on my legs in puberty that all faded.

It seems I’m getting lots of little ones appearing on my thighs, hips and lower bump. I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant. Do the creams they sell really work or make no difference? I’ve heard it’s genetic but my mum and sister didn’t have them at all.

Did you get them and was there anything that worked?

It's genetic. I'm covered in them, from puberty, pregnancy and just weight gain. I applied bio oil 2-3 times a day when I was pregnant, it made no difference. Unfortunately my stomach has never recovered.

Is it definitely genetic because my mom and two sisters have all got them on their stomachs from having Children but I didn't get any, only have some on hips from when I was a teen.
