stretch marks, if you got them... when???

MexiBride08 · March 2010

If you developed stretch marks... can you remember about what week they kicked in??? Just curious on different experiences,

I got around 37weeks..thought I was clear and then Bam..stretch marks...now that you mention it...havent checked them in some time....hope you don't get any...gl

What I am finding is that it looks like I start to get them around my belly button and then after I grow more, they go away. I put Palmers stretch lotion on my belly twice a day and I am hoping that keeps them at bay!!

I only got them on my breasts around the end and then a very few near my left side pant line we are talking a half an inch and that was around 33 weeks.

I dont know if it helped but i used ridiculous amounts of body butter!

GL you are nearing the finish line!

hmm- i think around 37 weeks- BAM!

and FYI- sometimes you can't even see them until AFTER the kid comes out- i think it's cause your belly is so taut- and then...oy.

I had them on my breasts (on the sides) and on my lower tummy (below my belly button). I noticed them around 32 weeks or so.

Yes - 39 weeks! I was miffed, but they aren't that bad.

Just like 3 little stretchies on my left hip, and 1 on my right.

Two weeks AFTER I gave birth. I was so mad! You can't really see them now though. Thank goodness!

I do have some on my lower back. No clue when I got them since I don't look at that area very often.

I think I'm probably an oddball... I had no stretch marks going into delivery, but after he was born, I had some show up. Very strange!

I got 2 little ones at around 35-36 weeks, then a few more AFTER I had her. Nothing like getting them at the very end : (

I made it the entire pregnancy without stretch marks until...my milk came in! I have a bunch on my breasts and none on my hips or tummy. I went from a B cup (didn't get any bigger at all during pregnancy) to an F cup (seriously, they're huge) in about a week from the time she was born

My weight gain was not much during pregnancy (24 lbs.) and I literally gained no more than a pound a week from second tri on, so I think that I avoided them by having steady weight gain (which wasnt on purpose, btw, that's just how I ended up gaining).

I got two and I am not sure when they showed up but earlier than you are. maybe 30wks or earlier. that said, some people don't get them until after the baby arrives. I had two small ones and they faded.

38 weeks ...I thought I was in the clear and then they come all of a sudden. They are bright red and no real sign of fading yet.
