Who got strech marks after 28 weeks and when?

blessedinthewest · September 2009

I'm right at 28 weeks and still no strech marks. I am under no fantasy that they will not come. My sister had them with her pregnancies so I gather that means more than likely I will too. Just wondering when I might expect them.

Mine have just started to show up on my sides. So, it's never too late to get them!

BinksMomma3016 · September 2009

You know that the baby actually gains all his weight now right?? LOL. They will come....

BethD76 · September 2009

I don't have them on my belly. My mom didn't get them either. I am starting to get some on my boob's though. This just started this week. I thought I was going to get out mark free.

jennaglardon · September 2009

I will be 35 weeks on Thursday and have yet to get any. Hopefully I will be lucky and not get any but, I know its in my genes so I'm prepared anyway.

TeamV · September 2009

I have them on my butt, backs of thighs, and sides of hips, but still none on my belly and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way!

LilMissSunshine · September 2009

30 weeks.

kcisthebombdotcom · September 2009

Good question. I was wondering the same thing-I'm as far along as you are with no new ones yet so far besides the ones I had on my hips that have been there since I was about 12.

mwindsor · September 2009

On my sides they started before 28 weeks but got bigger then closer to 35 weeks got some on the front of my belly.

kaekee · September 2009

Mine showed right around 34/35 weeks

JenDang · September 2009

Not yet...still don't think I am in the clear by any means!

B!tchBeckman · September 2009

who cares if you get them?

either you do or you dont. there's no preventing them so you might as well just accept them if they do appear.

mattsbride2006 · September 2009

I was under the same illusion. Then all of a sudden around 31 weeks they started to appear. Now at 35 weeks they have spread across my lower abdomen. With my undies on you won't be able to see them once my belly goes down which is good. I just hope they don't spread up in the next 5 weeks!!!

ruffle&rust · September 2009

Mine came around 35weeks .

lspinman · September 2009

The day I turned full term!

chick730 · September 2009

It probably doesn't count because you asked about after 28 weeks...but I got a few tiny tiny ones on both sides right at 28 weeks.

Doylesa · September 2009

I still don't have any on my stomach, but a few showed up on my sides probably around week 32 and have gotten slightly darker/longer since. Not too bad though.

ach99 · September 2009

I just started to get them on my sides. Still only two or three but I am expecting more.

blessedinthewest · September 2009

Thanks for the reality check ladies. I know they'll come eventually.

Teenie61006 · September 2009

couple days ago noticed tiny bit on the sides of my hips....and got them on my boobs in the 2nd tri

kmccallum · September 2009

Mine showed up on my hips around 37 weeks and at 39 1/2 weeks they started showing up on my butt!!! Get this kid out before they get any worse!!!

coliecarryon · September 2009

35 weeks and still staying strong!! all my gf's said they got them at the very end, so im waiting for the suckers to just pop up soon

JungleJulia · September 2009

A couple of 0-6ers got strech marks during/after labor...so even if none appear during pregnancy, you're still not out of the woods. Sad

AfterAll · September 2009

I don't have any yet (my mom only had a few) but I know that they can come at any time, including after the birth.

My mom didn't get a single one with 5 babies so I thought I was for sure in the clear. Then I hit 36 weeks, and LO flipped to head down...and soon after, he noticeably dropped. I think I have found a few new ones every day since

These girls are right though, if you're going to get them, you're going to get them. I don't think any amount of lotions or creams will completely stop them.

dottymobo · September 2009

About a week ago.

MrsLeslie030405 · September 2009

I had nothing until a month ago, a little cluster of them on my lower right tummy appeared. My LO favors hanging out and stretching out the right side... silly girl would probably saved mommy from them if she would only use all the space provided and move on over to the left at time LOL!

hnolso01 · September 2009

I don't even want to begin to talk about mine:)

& I tried lotions/oils...no help

Oh well...I traded my cute 2 piece bathing suits for a baby...not complaining!

ruthie oct3 · September 2009

mine started before 28 weeks - only under the belly. But recently I now have them on my sides/hips.

Nicole731 · September 2009

I didn't get them until around the last 4 weeks with DS. No new ones this time. Yet.

Shawnly82 · September 2009

33 weeks and not one sign of em..yet. I would hold out hope for none but I also know they can come at any time my friend got them in the last month of her pregnancy all over her tummy.

CNDeller · September 2009

I started to get a couple noticeable ones by 32 weeks, and by 35 weeks they were stretched all along my lower belly and a few above my belly button. Once I dropped this last week, a few more popped up below my belly button. You just never know.

brinkly · September 2009

I got one around 36-ish weeks that I thought was a bruise. But then the "bruise" never faded and I got another "bruise" and realized they were stretchmarks. (They're dark purple). I have a few more popping up - I'm due on Thursday.

pghstar07 · September 2009

About a week ago at 39 weeks. I'm so upset. I thought that I was doing so well with no sign of them and then bam....they appeared. Sad

They arent too bad but I'm afriad if this baby doesnt come soon then they will keep getting worse!

sdc06 · September 2009

I didn't get any on my belly with DS and I was shocked because my Mom had them all over her belly with all of her pregnancies. I did get some on my breasts when I was BF'ing. Still none so far but I really feel like they are coming soon this pregnancy which is strange because I am much smaller and have gained less weight. My belly feels so tight and stretched and itchy that I know they will appear any day. I hope you are lucky like I was last pregnancy and not get any despite genetics

HRALFS · September 2009

None... yet (knocking on wood). I have heard it all depends on the elasticity of your skin, I guess some people have more elasticity and some have less than others.

Exactly! I got them as soon as my belly button popped at 7.5 months. I was thin in the mid section before pregnancy,and I have them all over my belly. Do I care,NO! I'm past 30 and having this little girl to love for the rest of my life is worth more than being stretch mark free in a bikini.

MGauthier · September 2009

i didn't have any at that point either then i woke up one morning in my mid 33 weeks(?) and it looked like some one had painted all over my hips and boobs! EEK!!

They say that stretch marks are genetic, but my mom never got them..remember each pregnancy is completely different! GL

Basil27 · September 2009

at about 32 weeks until then nothing...now my lower stomach is covered in them... from what I read the best way to know if you have a high chance of getting them is... you got stretch marks during puberty say on your hips and or breast etc, and wether or not your mother had them from pregnancy. It doesnt mean you will get them.... just that you are at a greater risk. GL
