  • A good friend of mine's mom had them REALLY bad and she's 35 weeks and doesn't have any...
  • I've had stretch marks for as long as I can remember...

    basically, when your skin starts having to stretch to it's limit is when they'll likely start creeping in.

  • I got them at 34 weeks with my last one...I thought I was home free. :(

    But they do fade over time...I found tanning really makes them disappear!

  • I cant remember when I got them with DS. With all the ones I got with him I doubt Ill get anymore. LOL

    you give me hope!! Thanks! I know my mom gained a whopping 60lbs with me!! (YIKES) so that may have had something to do with it. But I got stretch marks (very faint white ones) when i went through a growth spurt in jr high, so i'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe i'll get lucky!

    Yea my mom got alot and I didn't!

  • With DS, the stretchmarks didn't show up until about 34-35 wks.
  • Around thirty weeks with my first.
  • It was wayyy past 25 weeks with Layla when the stretchies showed up. ?I remember the day, I was so sad when I saw it. ?I just knew that was the end of 2 piece bathing suits for me. :(?

    However, I can't wait to tan b/c it does make them appear less noticeable! ?

  • I got them after 30 weeks. One day, I just woke up and they were everywhere. I didn't want to get out of bed. It was so depressing.
  • I already had them before I got pregnant but no new ones since. 
  • 1st pg was around 27-29wk I think (not sure if I am remembering correctly).  I noticed late last week/earlier this week that I'm getting new ones on my waist/sides and I'm nearing 25wk.  Damn it.

  • Mine started about two weeks ago, I get a new one every day it seems. I haven't even gained any weight yet. They are all in the very front of my belly around my belly button.
  • With baby number 1 I didn't get any stretch marks till the last 2 months.  With this pregnancy I haven't noticed any new ones appear yet.
