Stretch Marks

So, all of the new stretch marks I have gotten were never red. Weird. They seemed like they started deep in the skin...in fact, I couldn't figure out whether it was a bruise, or a vein really showing, or a scar formation. Then they surfaced, flat and blue, then got some depth. I've definitely gotten stretch marks before, but this is just odd to me. I've always gotten the typical cat scratch red marks, that later faded to purple/blue, then to white-ish.

Anyone else getting marks above the belly button? I was really hoping to keep 'em below, but hoping and wishing didn't do me any good :P

    I thought I was going to get away with none, but this morning I noticed vein-looking thingies on the sides of my stomach that are probably going to become stretch marks.  *sigh*

    I have a few above my belly button, some that go around but they are mostly below where I couldn't really see them developing. The ones below are really deep and very dark purple.

    I also thought I would get without any, but a few weeks ago I noticed the two old marks  on each side I had from losing a bunch of weight in the past decided to turn pink.  The ones on my left are now darker and wider than they once were... Oh well, my whole family has them everywhere from their pregnancies so I am still pretty happy this far!  We have pretty fair skin, I think I read that makes you prone to stretch marks?

    I have had them on my hips and thighs for a few weeks now. I noticed my first stomach stretch mark the night of my babyshower last Friday.. It definately looks like I could be getting more on my lower stomach. No signs of above the belly button yet though.

    Somehow i have managed to avoid getting any.  My guess is that I had plenty of skin to grow into.

    I went awhile without any, but the last month or 2 they are definitely making an appearance. Mine are curved and are creating a circular stretch mark pattern around my belly button. I never knew they could do that. I always thought they would be straight.

    Mine look like squiggly purple lines all around my belly button- I call it my purple alien belly.  When I first started getting them I had some red blotchiness above my belly button- it took about 2 weeks to turn to stretch marks.  That was around the 6-7 month timeframe.
