Just curious, if you got stretch marks on your belly already, at what point in your pg did they appear?

    Got my first one around 27 or 28 weeks...and I've gotton a few more since. But I'm lucky so far...they're fairly light pink, and small-ish.

    Not sure if you can even see them in the picture...

    I started getting mine around 16-17 weeks. Lucky me. Stick out tongue Oh well, I've never been a bare belly type person anyway.

    Mine became noticable a few weeks ago. I didn't have them with DD, so of course I got them this time. They are near my belly button. Hopefully, they don't spread anywhere else!

    Somewhere in the late teens or early 20 weeks I noticed the first signs - little red marks around my bellybutton ring holes (the barbell was already gone) and a spot further up my belly. After about a week a couple small ones appeared just above my belly button.?

    I noticed a frightening amount on my lower stomach in my late 20 weeks, and now I look like someone printed a road atlas on my belly. Seriously, stretch marks from hell.?

    I don't have any yet. Hopefully it'll stay that way. I know that there is no evidence that cocoa butter works to prevent them, but I have been slathering myself in it twice a day just in case it does.

    I just noticed them.  (I'm 38 wks) They are small and on the bottom of my belly.  Maybe they have been there for a while and I didn't notice.  Sucks. I've been smearing all sorts of creams on my belly hoping to avoid them.  They are not particularly dark so I'm hoping that they will just fade away.
