CamFam · July 2010

Just got some nice ones THIS WEEK. As in, full full term at 40 weeks. I made it the whole pregnancy with nadda and now I have lovely battle wounds across my belly. Nice.

MassageMomma2010 · July 2010

Dark ones on my bewbies of all places

None on the belly yet. Knock on wood as well.

bridetobe920 · July 2010

Mine showed up at 36 weeks...bummer!

historychick79 · July 2010

Getting small red ones on hips and butt, none on the belly. Since I have so many there from when I was 11-12yrs old, not bothering me much; just doesn't look too good with my thong panties Embarrassed

TColeman · July 2010

I have a few small ones on my boobs but that's about it. I already had some on my butt/thigh area that have been there since I was like 12. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get any major new ones.

zomgpmngl · July 2010

I don't remember exactly when I got them, probably somewhere between 23-28 weeks, but I got a batch on the belly. There are probably about 10 of them total, and I haven't gotten anymore yet. (ha, I'll have brand new ones tomorrow now!) They are all below my belly button though, and I can only see them if I look in the mirror. I'm hopeful they will fade...

K.a.T.e · July 2010

ugh ... too many.

But then again, my belly is measuring at 41 weeks so I'm afraid there are more to come

Violet_McPurpleson · July 2010

I got a few at about 35 weeks. They are only on the bottom of my belly and they are silvery and not red. I would have no idea they were there if I didn't look at my bump in the mirror all the time.

I was pretty bummed when I found them, but I'm confident that they will fade.

preciousmetal · July 2010

I didn't know I had any until my DH took a picture of me while I was laying down and you can see the underside of my stomach. It looks crazy under there.

Lovies103 · July 2010

I have them on my rear rend & have had them since about 20 weeks. My butt got huge. They are starting to spread to my thighs. I've been able to fade them pretty good though.

But (knock on wood) my belly is free & clear.

laubeth87 · July 2010

Red ones on my butt and thighs, purples ones on my boobs, and a few red ones around my bellybutton. =( If they eventually fade to white, i'll be content.

chewychigozie · July 2010

knock on wood! Me too! Not showing....yet...

jlees2005 · July 2010

Just started w/ some this week on my hips. They are little red ones, seems to be extending from where I already had some from years ago. So far none on my belly yet.

LuvBeingMrsH · July 2010

Belly, legs and hips still good...

My butt is gross, lots of red one all over my butt cheeks Crying I am going to have to forget about the sexy outfits for DH with thongs... Crying

lesleslie · July 2010

I had some appear at around 20wks, I do have newer ones on the bottom on my belly...i dont count them I can't see them haha, and the ones from 20wks have just stretched out as my belly gets bigger. They are all red at this point.

shakes · July 2010

loads on my belly, some on my hips.

jamienbj · July 2010

dmw4444:
None yet, (knock on wood for me too).

This is me! Hope it stays that way. I have heard that they can be genetic, it's about your genetics, the composition of your elastin and collagen in your skin. My Grandmother who had 4 babies didn't get any and my mom who just had me didn't get any.

Ananke · July 2010

I started getting them (big, ugly red ones) about 3 or 4 weeks ago, but only where I had scars from an abdominal surgery. I had four scars, and each scar started sprouting horrible stretch marks. I thought they were going to stay isolated to the scars, but last week I started getting some on my lower belly, near my hair line. So, suffice to say, I won't ever be wearing a bikini again. Luckily they are mostly below my belly button, but one of the scars was just above my navel, and it sprouted a single red stretch mark from the scar to my belly piercing.

I was really depressed about them at first, but now, since they sprouted from the scars and aren't typical looking stretch marks, I've started playing a new game with them: find the pattern. So far the pattern on the left scar looks like a spider. Maybe I can get it turned into a tattoo. . .

+LuckyVal+ · July 2010

So far I have one tiny spot on my right breast (which looks like a freaking highway map of blue veins right now) and one teeny tiny spot on my belly and that is IT!

Hopefully I can coast through without anymore

McKenna04 · July 2010

I have a whopping total of 2 stretch marks, one on each boob. They are about ehh maybe an inch long. I can see them, but SO says he doesn't see anything

nicole112709 · July 2010

Red ones on my bbs that showed up by 20 weeks because they grew SO fast. I wasn't using any lotion(convinced it was all an OWT and was pointless) but I started putting cocoa butter on them and they have actually faded quite a bit and I haven't gotten any on my stomach yet, so fingers crossed! My mom's didn't show up until AFTER she had me though:-( Hers aren't bad, she had problems with extra skin though:-(

Laroogirl · July 2010

So far so good. I only got one with my son on my hip. I have old ones on my boobs, butt and hips from when I was young. But thankfully, the belly is all clear.

KRB8 · July 2010

None for me. I am hoping to keep it that way for the next 4-5 weeks. I am still using Palmer's twice a day, even if it's 'useless'.

Chrissymarie98 · July 2010

all over my tummy, it's bad

they have gotten a little lighter in color, but it still isn't pretty.

I guess it's the price you have to pay....

newly_naugler · July 2010

No new ones, had some from since I was 11 or 12, but nothing since pregnant.

Acendaneil · July 2010

My thighs are seriously scary looking. They are thick, reddish, and when you rub your finger over them you can definitely feel them.

A few on my love handles, my right side isn't too bad (yet)...but my left side has the dark ones. I've never had stretch marks before, so it's shocking to me.

My bum is another scary one...my husband says that my whole bum is covered.

My boobs have the purple-ish ones more towards the sides, and from a picture...pretty bad.

My belly...none yet, but I know I'll be getting them soon. And I think they will be the deep, red ones.

Oh! I almost forgot! My belly button area...yeah, the marks are bad! My piercing scar looks SO sad! It looks like a burn scar.

KingRay09 · July 2010

Dark ones (bruised) on the front of my thighs and red ones around my belly button

KingRay09 · July 2010

Red ones around my belly button and brown (bruised) ones on my thighs

veebug22 · July 2010

No stretch marks yet... my mom and sister didn't get any either. I've heard it's largely hereditary, so I'm hoping I can get away with not acquiring any over the next 8 weeks!

BearsMrs · July 2010

Haven't gotten any & didn't get any while pregnant with my first son. My boobs got a few after the delivery with my first, but went away. So, I'm guessing that might happen again.

hailey1312 · July 2010

So far I've only got one tiny mark where my belly piercing hole is. I took my piercing out at about 24-25 weeks because it was starting to feel tight. NO stretch marks around it at that time, but a week or two after taking it out, it started to get a stretch mark around the hole!! I was a little frustrated since that is the whole reason I took it out, but at least I haven't gotten any more and I am crossing my fingers hoping I don't get more!!!
