Second Pregnancy- Stretch Marks

Hi ladies

I was very lucky with my first child, I didn't get any stretch marks apart from 1 that was about 1cm long on my bikini line and it disappeared after my daughter was born. I used cocoa butter and bio oil day and night the moment I found out I was pregnant, and I did have my daughter 1 day earlier then my due date.
What are the chances of me getting them this time? I'm 7.5 weeks... I've already started the routine of creams again.
What do you think? 😘☺️ xxx

I don’t think the creams really do anything. I think it’s more about what your skin is like etc. So you’re not likely to get them if you didn’t last time, in my opinion

Sadly There's no guarantee that you won't get stretch marks the second time around. I was the same as you, I used bio oil every day during my first pregnancy, had DS the day before my due date and had 1 little stretch mark. I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant with DC2 and have followed the same routine. Unfortunately I'm a bit bigger this time and stretch marks have already started appearing at the bottom of my bump. I'll keep using the bio oil as I'm sure it helps to keep the skin hydrated bit I'm definitely not going to be as lucky as I was first time.
