Stretch marks on only one side?

Last week it finally happened... I noticed some stretch marks, but only on my left side. I'm definitely bulging more on my left side (Baby B) and I lay on my left side the majority of the time, so it makes sense. I just assumed I'd get stretch marks on both sides, and I guess I still could. Anyone else get them on only one side?

Re: Stretch marks on only one side?

  • Yep.

    Both babies were way on my left side - my stomach looked ridiculous because it was so lopsided.

    I now am the proud owner of lovely stretch marks the left side of my stomach, and smoothness on the right side.  It's super annoying, but perhaps better than having your entire stomach covered in stretch marks?  The skin is also a lot looser on the left side than on the right.  It's just plain weird.

  • Yes!!! I have maybe 3 or 4 small stretchmarks on my right side and a gazillion on my left! I attribute it to more baby on my left side (I looked lopsided, especially near the end) and also laying/leaning on my left side during my 6 weeks of bed rest. Like PP said...better than all over, I suppose!

  • Once I started with PTL episodes at 22w, I had to lay on my left side pretty  much all the time.  I stayed on bedrest until they were born, and my left side got the major majority of the stretch marks.  I think I only have two on the right side, and they are tiny.  My OB commented when I came in for visits how lopsided my belly always was, to the left!
    After 20 months TTC with PCOS, we were blessed with twins!
    They arrived at 36 weeks after PTL and bedrest for 14 weeks. Lilypie Third Birthday tickers image

  • I had them on both sides but had more on my left side, as well as more of a bulge.
