Linea Nigra and Stretch Marks

NSAnderson0313

I'm a FTM @ 24 weeks 3 days. Idk how much I've gained in total at this point but I have no stretch marks and no visible linea nigra.

When would one typically expect to develop both linea nigra and/or stretch marks. Is it possible to go through pregnancy without either?

For reference I checked with my mom and sister. Neither remember when they got them during pregnancy, but both had really bad stretch marks.

LN hasn't shown up for me yet...I don't remember when it did with DD but I did have it with her. I didn't notice stretch marks with DD until AFTER I delivered. Womp Womp. This time I noticed some light ones starting to show.

I've had a visible linea negra for weeks. I had stretch marks before I got pregnant so no help there. But I have heard several moms say they didn't develop stretch marks until the last month to two weeks of pregnancy. You CAN go through pregnancy without getting either but you definitely still have time to develop them.

Ive never got the line during pregnancy. My sister got it. But I just don't get one. As for stretch marks, all I'm going to say is you're not safe until pregnancy's over.

Baby #3 I have never had the line, I didn't notice stretch marks until after I had my first.

Never got LN with DD and didn't know stretch marks until 30 weeks with her. I have stretch marks already with this baby. However DD is only 16 months.

27 weeks and still no LN. I had SM prior to pregnancy, and the last couple of weeks I noticed little purple marks on the ends of them where they are getting worse.

26 weeks. The line runs in the family but not stretch marks. However I just found some starting on my hips and things and none in my stomach. Just the line. Some is genetic and the rest is chance and circumstances

I have the line, but no stretch marks...yet.

I'm 26 weeks 4 days and no line or stretch marks yet. My mom didn't get stretch marks with me or my brother....so I'm hoping genetics wins out on this one.

I'm 27 weeks & can't see LN, but my DH found my first stretch mark last night right at my waist. I was always watching my stomach for them & excited that I hadn't developed any yet, so much for that.

I have stretch marks on my hips from a growth spurt when I was younger. I have yet to get any on my stomach, but I guess yall are right - you're not safe until delivery lol.

I've had a linea negra since 1st trimester and I'm in my 28th week. I really don't have stretch marks yet but I still have a long way to go.

Have had the LN for weeks now. Developed stretch marks with DS at 28 weeks, just before maternity photo shoot. Haven't noticed any new stretch marks with this pregnancy yet.

No linea niagra yet and no stretch marks at 25 weeks. I had the linea niagra first time around but never had stretch marks, definitely possible to survive a pregnancy without them.
