I have a question about stretch marks in pregnancy. I got one stretch mark in my first pregnancy. It is only half an inch long. I got it because I had a scar from a belly button piercing I had let grow over.
So will I get stretch marks off of this one previous stretch mark during my second pregnancy?
Anyone have experience with anything similar?
you think a half inch is a problem?? seriously??????
maybe you’ll be like most people this time and learn what they really are.
geez.
yes it can definitly happen in fact you are more likely to get them…i know i did..
Yeah, they are like scars. The skin there is weaker than the surrounding skin and can kind of “run” like pantyhose! Don’t worry so much. These are badges of honor. You’ve not only survived childbirth, but are willing to do it again!
On the other hand, you might not get any this time. Every pregnancy is different.
I got a little one above the top hole where I had mine pierced, with my first pregnancy. It got bigger by just a tiny,tiny bit with my second pregnancy, and hasn’t changed so far with this one. I had my appendix out when I was 10, so I have that surgery scar on my right side, I got a little one going up, and a little one going down on both ends of that scar. They got about 1/4 inch longer with my second pregnancy…but no biggie at all. If you didn’t get them with your first, you likely won’t have much noticable change with your second, unless you gain a lot more weight or something than with your first. I havent noticed any new ones this time, and am 6 months 1 week 2 days now….we’ll see what happens these next couple months lol.
Yes, I did. I also had a belly piercing and the scar from it stretched and now looks horrible. My stretch marks from pregnancy #1 turned into bigger marks after my pregnancy #2…the price we pay to deliver babies!!!!!!!!!
