Uggg....I've got millions of them....everywhere.  That's why I don't have a belly pic up!!!!!  No one needs to see that!

 

don't be like that!! : )  YOURE BEAUTIFUL!

i got some with my first who didnt make it, and my niece always says, those are the notes she left you from heaven so you dont forget her!  : )

None for me yet!

I have been lucky enough to have 3 kids and one on the way with NO stretch marks anywhere!!!  

Yvonne Creary

none at all :-)

I am not even showing yet, but per my mom's instructions, I am rubbing Aquaphor on my stomach every night since I found out I was preggers at 6 weeks. Palmers doesn't work... you need grease or oil to really make a difference/

Nothing yet and I hope it stays that way

I think stretch marks are kind of a nature and nurture thing because both my mom and g-mom never had stretch marks but put cocoa butter on their bellies religiously. Up to this point i have none, and i've been using cocoa butter....so hopefully over the next 2 and a half weeks nothing shows up!!

HAHAHA

That was an option?

My stomach looks like a roadmap from DS.  Luckily, they're all faded and I haven't gotten any new ones!  Not like it really matters anyway.  Stretch marks are the kiss of motherhood!

Shockingly so far I have none....I plaster on the utter butter nightly.

Ditto.  I lost some weight five years ago (not a ton, 25 lbs) but I have a little extra skin in my midsection... I'm hoping that's enough to provide a buffer for me to not get stretch marks!  *fingers crossed*

TheBrowns

I didn't with DS and he was over 11 lbs (and I am only 5'4). So you have hope!

ha what a joke.. i started getting them at week 12.. funny thing is is that i have only gained 8 1/2 lbs and it seems like i have a road map of ohio on my belly.. blah

None so far...knock on wood.

So many, and they grow by the day.

I'm at 30 1/2 weeks.. and so far no...

lpoi

I don't have any yet. My Dr. seems to think that if I were going to get any, I would have gotten them by now. I on the other hand, am not so optimistic...my mom had them and I heard they're genetic so I'm not expecting to get through this pregnancy without some.

None with my first pregnancy and hoping to have a repeat for this one. My older sister and my mom have lots of stretch marks due to gaining excess pregnancy weight. My other sister and I gained just 20 lbs during our pregnancies and didnt get a single one.

Saw this thread on the home page and thought I would contribute. 

I did not get any stretchmarks.  I was ssoooooo lucky, I know.

I am 39 weeks and no stretch marks... my mom said she didn't get any with her three kids either. I do have them in other places (legs and hips) from my teen years, but somehow I didn't get them from the baby! Now I"m crossing my fingers to not get a few other things...

kim&bill

I didn't get any...I gained 35 lbs with my little peanut and swore by Burts Bees Belly Butter during my pregnancy.  I used it every day without exception.

Hello!

?

I just had my bay girl 2 months ago, and I did not get any stretch marks. I used Curel's pregnancy lotion in alteration with Palmers lotion for stretch marks and didn't get any. However, I was putting it on 2 times a day since I was 6 weeks pregnant, so maybe I just got lucky. My skin was SO DRY the entire time I was pregnant, so the obsession with lotion was basically so I didn't scratch the heck out of my skin. Good luck!?

MissLMS

I *thought* I was lucky until 12 days before my due date.. then they crept up on my lower belly. I was so upset!

jimmie48fan

I have two weeks to go and I have none yet.  Who knows they will show if they want too.  I too have also heard that they can come out after the baby has arrived.  Maybe I have some in places I can't see anymore though too, but I'm sure my husband would show them to me.  LOL

Good Luck

WHOOP WHOOP! And knock on wood...only 2 1/2 weeks left!

IU_baby

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I don't have any yet.

mommy411

me me me thank god,,,,Well if I did get them ?I wouldnt mind she is all worth it!

daisy62103

None for me.

FinallyThatGirl

so far nothing... still have 8 weeks.

Emilyd422

mine began at 37 weeks and haven't stopped coming.  I highly recommend the body butter from Bath & Body works...it makes them feel more moisturized when/if you do get them.

phenicia

I have just a few but they are from my previous pregnancy. 8 weeks to go so I hope I am good to go with this one!

DEBBIE33CASEY

I didn't and don't think I will- HOWEVER there is a reason for this- A year ago I lost a substantial amount of weight so I have some extra skin that hasn't gotten nearly as stretched as if I hadn't.  So i am happy to have no stretch marks but I don't have the adorable round belly

hzmb

HA! I wish! My husband, lovingly calls me "fire belly" all the time. I just hope they go away afterwards! I faithfully put on cream every morning and night!?

Mr and Mrs King

I don' t have any on my belly (knocking on wood) but my thighs, hips, butt and boobs are a whole nother story. 

chingpei

so far, so good...i'm keeping my fingers crossed that as i get even larger, my skin continues to by elastic enough to avoid stretch marks...i believe it's just a matter of your skin tone - you either are or aren't prone to stretch marks...good luck!

Mary0913

Not me - mine are all on the right side of my belly button.  That's where baby girl tends to snuggle down.  However, I am noticing a nice new one on the left side...  Yippee.
