stretch marks

marbear81

for those that got them, when did you start noticing them? I am 14 w 4 d and I see the beginning of them....

I didn't start to get them until 29 weeks and they seem to be growing every day since then. That was also the same week my belly button popped out so I guess that was my skins breaking point!

mine didn't really show up until AFTER i gave birth- both times.

I saw a couple of very faint ones on my side around 24 weeks.  Since then, I've gotten a few more on the bottom of my stomach

I found a couple small ones on my left hip about 2 weeks ago, and so far, that's all I have.  I really hope it stays that way.

MH noticed some "clear" ones on my right hip about 2 weeks ago.  and now he figures he should remind me all the time to put on lotion.  

no dark red ones yet though (knock on wood).

They just appeared at 33 weeks.  I had none up until then... and they came all at once and they are purple and on my boobs too

so it sounds like mine are here EARLY! ughh... and mine are on my boobs, too...

I have faint white ones on my hips and boobs now.  I'm sure it is only going to get worse from here.

I didn't notice any until after I gave birth!

I can't recall when they ones on my boobs started to appear, but it was wayyy earlier than on my stomach which was around 28-29 weeks I think...they're no fun, but it's in my genes so there's nothing I was able to do to prevent them

me too! my girls never dropped so they were up high until delivery.  Once I delivered, BOOM instant stretch marks

A nurse at L&D commented that she could not believe I had no stretch marks. I do, they are at the bottom of my abdomen, and since these two cupcakes are carrying so low I hope they stay down there! I've only noticed them since about 30 weeks.
