My daughter is getting ready to have her second baby.  Stretch marks weren’t a problem with her first one.  It looks like what she did get faded over time.  She kept going into early labor because according to the Doctor she was stretched to capacity.  The baby was only six pounds.  I worry about this one though she is in her sixth month and already much larger than she was with the first one.  She was a ten pound baby.  The father of this baby was a ten pound baby also.  Her stomach itches so much it drives her crazy.  I am only assuming that this baby is going to be a big en. 

I think the extreme itching could be from the skin stretching.  If that is the case it only makes sense that she is going to have stretch marks this time.  I am not sure what to tell her to do.  I know allot of people tell us coca butter.  I am not sure if that worked though.  It smells good at any rate.  She says it relieves the itching some what.  But she says she has to keep applying the lotion allot to control the itch.  I am hoping she is not going to have too much trouble with stretch marks but I also worry that her skin did not have enough time to recover its elasticity before the second pregnancy.
