If you got stretch marks, when did you get them?

Nyki06Wed43530 · December 2010

This is my first time being pregnant and I was just wondering when you got stretch marks if you did?

BriAnnaB123 · December 2010

I haven't got any yet (fingers crossed), but my friend just found her first one and she is due Dec. 10th...

It sounds as though they could creep up any time

with #1, between 30-31 weeks.

Shpinz2011 · December 2010

I got most of mine around month 7. I look like I got into a fight with a tiger Sad

mlkbride03 · December 2010

With my first pregnancy, I did not get them until 37 weeks- thought I was in the clear.... only got a few on my hips.

MissSunny42 · December 2010

I got some around week 30, they are on my love handles, sooo attractive. I am hoping they really fade

WannaBeCrunchyMama · December 2010

I got a stretch dot around my belly piercing a weekish ago.

My sister didn't get any until she was 38 weeks. She now has the worst stretch marks of anyone I've ever seen. Sorry sis, it's true.

She also gained 30 pounds the last month because the doctor told her the baby wasn't gaining enough weight.

EDIT. I started getting them on my boobs in second tri sometime.

Not too long ago--30 or 31 weeks, I think. I woke up one morning and noticed them and was surprised that they came out of nowhere. They were only visible on the underside of my belly--a hard place to see. They've since grown up on the belly. I have light ones on the belly, darker ones on my sides.

I got my first at 34 weeks and neither my mom nor my dad's mom have any sort of stretchmarks. Sort of a bummer but I am hoping it disappears after =/

this. I literally woke up the day of my baby shower and I was 32 weeks and BAM there they were, not one or two but patches of them! So horrible

JLB24 · December 2010

I have stretch marks on my boobs and they surfaced pretty early on...probably around 16 weeks. I just noticed some on my hips, too, about 2 weeks ago. Nothing too bad and I'm hoping they don't get worse.

OregonMommy · December 2010

I didn't get any until the baby dropped.

brymanda · December 2010

I haven't noticed any yet. I hope I don't get any but I've heard a lot of women say they got them after delivery.

41 weeks with DD Tongue Tied

It was a bummer. I can't tell if the ones I have already now are new or old.

alli&pat · December 2010

Life's cruel joke - I got them AFTER I delivered DS.

Have yet to get any more with this pregnancy...but I'm assuming there will be a surprise waiting for me in late February!

TadPole24 · December 2010

i'm almost 36 weeks and I have one on my left breast. I got it at around 31 weeks.

Lucky_Dragonfly · December 2010

I didn't get any with DS until he dropped, around 35/36wks and that was only on my underbelly. so far I don't ahve any with DD.

Jayfinn · December 2010

Wow...I must be one of the "lucky" ones then. Sad

I saw my first stretch marks at 18 weeks!!! And I haven't even gained a lot of weight either!

beautifulsin90 · December 2010

In my 1st pregnancy I got them when I was like 36 weeks and on my breast a while after I gave birth.

ms.shaver · December 2010

I didn't get any until 38 weeks. I have a few small ones on my butt. I thought I was going to make it the whole way without any, especially since my two older sisters and mom did not get any.

JenGarden · December 2010

Today

hjk5000 · December 2010

I didn't have any until the end of 2nd tri when they started on my butt, hips, and thighs. (I know, awesome right?) I didn't have any on my belly until 34 weeks.

Hyfagal · December 2010

I got the first cluster at 10 weeks and it's all been down hill from there. Now they're about a half inch wide around my lower belly and hella painful.

this is true..

dee12807 · December 2010

30 - 32 weeks on my boobs, and the day after my due date (which was actually Dec 2) under my belly button. I't was the cruelest joke nature could play on me - thought I was in the clear and then - BAM - one date past due date, here's your penalty....

mel6304 · December 2010

Just noticed a few last week under my bellybutton. Even though I was sad to find them, they are fairly small and tolerable for now. Hoping they don't continue to get worse these last weeks.

forensicmama · December 2010

*lurks*

I was lucky enough to get my first stretch marks during a growth spurt at age 13. Wahoo! Surprise

As for pregnancy, I greased up with cream every day and I only got them on my hips a little more and on my breasts (they were AA to begin with, so stretch marks on my boobs wasn't surprising). I thought I had completely escaped stretch marks everywhere else, but once I delivered - and shrunk (I lost almost all of the weight almost immediately - wahoo BFing), I noticed little ones below my belly button, which aren't bothersome, but the bothersome ones I noticed were on the back of my right thigh. Thankfully, they aren't so bright any more. They lightened rather quickly - within six months or so.
