If you got stretch marks with your first pregnancy, if you put on less weight with your second pregnancy did your stretch marks get any worse clutching at straws?

I've managed to put on a 1/3 less weight with this pregnancy but my bump is more ball like. So far at 33 weeks my stretch marks from my first pregnancy haven't got bigger. Am I just waiting for the inevitable or due t

Arghhh stupid phone...

Due to lower weight gain will I get away without the old ones staying as they are?

Probably a silly question but thought I'd throw it out there.....care to share?

mine.stayed the same and I didn't get any more. I put on the same amount of weight but I used bio oil the second time.

I got lots of stretch marks in my 1st pregnancy. I put quite a lot of weight on in my 2nd pregnancy too but I never got any new ones, the ones I had already went a bit pinky again near the end.

I'm now pregnant with my 3rd. My stretch marks stand out again, my DD has commented on them as they're noticeable on my bump (I'm 26 weeks). I've no where near put as much weight on this time, but my bump seems huge, hoping I won't get new ones again.

Fingers crossed for us both. I still use bio oil every day hoping it does do what it says on the box Grin

I've just started using bio oil again and I'm 17+3 with DC2. I got a hundred few about 35 weeks with DC1 (even after applying bio oil for months) and am hoping these wont get worse this pregnancy but they already seem bigger, but no new ones that I've seen yet

I was examining mine just yesterday! I got loads with dc1 and am also 33 with no new ones so far! Also haven't put on as much weight this time round.
Haven't bothered with bio oil as it did bugger all last time!
