3rd Trimester

No stretch marks!!

I'm 29 days from delivery and I haven't gotten a single stretch mark (knock on wood!) Could it be possible for me to get through this whole thing without getting one...are you guys doing?

    Every person is different.. Good luck.

  • haha!  don't count on it!  most people I talk to get them in the last week or so!  I haven't had any either but I know that I'm not out of the woods until after the baby has been delivered.
  • You better start knocking HARD on that wood because they can show up over night.  I went through my pregnancy with one single stretch mark on each hip, then BLAM!  I was attacked by them.  Now I look like was attacked by a wild animal.
  • Oh no don't jinx yourself!!  Take lots of naked belly pics now!! 

    I got them at 36 weeks, hopefully you won't but they can still sneak up on you or notice them after delivery so make sure you take pics now!!

  • Every single one of my stretch marks showed up in the last 2 weeks and I delivered my son at 39 weeks. Hopefully you won't have any, but don't bet on it just yet.

  • Yeah I got 2 my last week and then I got more during delivery with my first.

  • That's awesome!! I thought I was in the clear (I've been coating myself with Vitamin E lotion several times a day) and then yesterday I woke up with two of them under my right boob :(  It was a very sad day.

  • I didn't get any with my first pregnancy.  I am 36 weeks in this time, and I think I saw one under my stomach on the left side last night.  DH said it is not a stretch mark, but I definitely didn't have that "scar" there last week (I am obsessed with looking under my stomach with a mirror).  I guess we will see if I have them after LO arrives.

    BTW: my mom and sister has terrible stretch marks, so not getting them the first time was a huge milestone for me.  If I get them this time, I wouldn't be surprised.

  • I was right there in the same boat!  But a week or two ago, I noticed a small purple mark above my belly button and one below.  I don't mind too much since they aren't everywhere and my husband could barely notice it when I pointed it out.  So I consider myself blessed!

  • HaHa! I didn't have any either until LO dropped. It was like I woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and gasped. There they were! Ohhh wellll. He's worth it. Wink
  • Totally possible.  I didn't get any on my stomach, hips, etc. with DS1.  After he was born, I did get some nasty ones on my breasts (they got huge thanks to BF).  They did fade however.  So far with this pregnancy, I'm stretch mark free as well.

  • Stop bragging!

    I got my first ones at 15 weeks. but not many more.

    There is still time for you to get PLENTY of stretch marks, so yeah, maybe you should go knock on wood before you jinx yourself and wake up tomorrow covered in them. (I'm not bitter...)

  • I didn't have any at 34 weeks either.  Then, overnight I got them at 36 weeks.  I swear they weren't there the day before.  Don't get too excited!

  • I just found two under my belly.  I have no idea how long they have been there since I had to lean back at an angle to even see them, lmfao!  Trust me it was a sight to see.  I thought I was in the clear, but oh well.  My friend had none during her pregnancy, but they all showed up after she delivered.  So who knows.  good luck though

  • There's a good chance you will get some during delivery!

  • I didn't have any with my DD. Until a day after delivery. Then I was COVERED in them. Awesomeee.

    So yea, anything is possible.

  • I have them from my two previous pregnancies but this one has yet to add to the collection... of course we are at 34 weeks so we will see... hopefully not though because the others have faded well good luck hopefully none for you. a better indicator would be to look at your mom. if she has them odds are you will get some
