Stretch Marks? At how many weeks?

At how many weeks did you start noticing the stretch marks?

jennaglardon

I am 39 weeks and 5 days and so FAR have zero stretch marks! I'm hoping I won't get any but am prepared just in case I do within the next few days. I was FOR SURE i was going to get come. But have been very lucky.

Are you from 1st-tri??

I had two stretchies on either side of my belly-button around 16 weeks. Now it looks like a cat clawed my stomach. And hips. Ugh. Thankfully mine aren't very deep or dark yet....

I started to get mine at around 34 weeks on the lower part of my abdomen.  It's really different with each woman.  Some get them in second trimester, others in the third and some not at all.  You really can't tell when, they'll just pop up without any warning!  Yay!

Nope.. i'm 27 weeks now and haven't noticed any yet. But i've heard they are hereditary and my mom has them BAD!! So i'm just crossing my fingers that I get lucky!

None on my belly...2 on my boob (on a burn scar, so I expected something there) and they showed up on my ass about 37 weeks.

I haven't found any on my tummy yet, but I've had stretchies on the girls since about 14-15wks.  I hate them..  I think they make my boobs look twice as hideous as they already do.

I thought I was home free when, at 33 weeks, I still had none. Well, 34 weeks rolled around and I had one tiny one, about an inch long, on the right side of my underbump. Now, at almost 36 weeks, I am sporting a whole bunch down there. That one that was originally an inch? Oh, it's a monster. Probably like 4 inches long, a half an inch wide.

And, if you are one of the select few who don't see any throughout your pregnancy, you are not safe until your body goes back to how it was. I have heard many women say they have some show up after they give birth. Good luck!

Crossing fingers, knocking on every thing wooden, I dont have any yet. On the other hand I have acne like none other, I have never had breakouts like this before

I think around 30 weeks?  Mine were not there one day and then within a week of getting one I had my entire lower tummy covered in them though!  I have been using palmers like crazy.  My sister who got WAY bigger than me never had any though.  It's all in the genes.  Good luck!

Sides and lower belly around week 34-35.

I discovered some on the underneath part of my boobs last week. No idea when they popped up. Still none on my stomach though. I have stretch marks left over from puberty on my hips though so if I get 'em, I get 'em...not too worried about it.

Thanks ladies! I guess i'll just keep on with the waiting game. Looks like I wont be in the clear till the very end. I'll keep crossing my fingers!

LOTS of women don't get any until AFTER their babies are born.

I didn't have a single one until after DS was born.  Now my stomach looks like a raisin.

I didnt get any with DS1, I am hoping for the same with LO, but as they say, every pregnancy is different. I'm just crossing my fingers.

When I was pg with DS, I never got any stretch marks.  This time (I'm already measuring bigger than I was when I delivered last time at 37w5d), I've had one for probably over a month (just a tiny one above my belly button), started to get another about a week ago (probably an inch to an inch and a half long), and now I have 2 more (at least they're small).  I figured I wouldn't be lucky enough to escape them this time, but they're not too bad so far.

Fairy Tale Come True

So far--NONE! But I still have approx. 6 wks to go! Fingers crossed

I would say maybe 34 weeks or so? Went to bed one night with none, woke up the next morning with about 10 on the underside of my stomach-- all underneath of my belly button. Those are still the only 10 that I have, but they ITCH like crazy!

I'm getting to know the stretch marks I've had since I was a kid better.

I started noticing a bunch of small stretch marks on my lower belly around 30 weeks. They haven't grown much since then, but there seem to be more of them.

lostaspen

I started noticing stretch marks on my outter thigh, just below my butt, at about 25-26 weeks.  I'm 29 weeks now and they've grown a little, or there are more of them.

I don't have any yet but I fully expect them to appear after the baby is born. We shall see.
