When did you get stretch marks?

I'm at the end of my 32nd week being pg.  I thought I would have them by now, since I got them during my growth spurt in junior high.  So far, no marks.  Am I out of the woods, or will they be showing up now?  I've heard this is when I'll gain a lot of weight faster, so I don't want to get excited about no marks if they might still make an appearance! Thanks!

Re: When did you get stretch marks?

  • At 32 weeks, I had gotten them already, but I have friends who didn't get them until the very end. You never know!

    They say they're genetic but my mom and sister never got any. I was blessed with a ton :)

  • I got them about 2 week PP!!!!

    How stupid is that?!?!?

    They're only on my butt...so no biggie 

  • I got my 1st stretch mark underneath one of my boobs at 38 weeks.

    I somehow have a few tiny white ones around my belly button that were never pink or present before delivery. You can hardly see them, though. I never got any other stretch marks on my stomach, butt, or hips.

    My boobs, however, are a totally different story. Due to BFing, I can no longer count the amount of stretchies I have on them :( I was not prepared for that at all!

    This is just wrong!  Thanks for the info ladies.  I figured I was not out of the woods, but I was hopeful! 

  • At 32 weeks, I went into preterm labor and still didn't have any stretch marks. However, after I gave birth-there they were and still are!! I now have ugly purple lines on my belly from deflating!!

  • i thought i was out of the woods too. didn't get them until abuot 35/36 weeks. total bummer. some people are blessed and some are not. i don't care how much cocoa butter you rub on your belly, didn't help me!
  • I got a couple on my hips 2 weeks PP so annoying!!
  • I noticed one on my stomach, just above my belly button around 30 weeks but it was very small, and of course as I have gotten bigger it has too LOL. I also had one on my thigh from when I was younger too and that one has gotten much worse, I made a huge mistake and neglected my thighs when it came to the vitamin e and all that, so they are terrible!!! I bought some bio-oil and started using that hoping it will help, but I really hope after i have DD they will eventually lighten up or something cuz they are red and deep... its kinda depressing lol

    I just started to notice some last week (36 weeks)... right where my waist stretches to accommodate my ever expanding belly...

  • 36 weeks, I got them BAD.  Probably 100 on my tummy and now it's one big wrinkly jiggly mess now that I'm back to my prepregnancy weight.  I have no sympathy for those complaining about a few here and there.
