Thanks for asking this, I was wondering the same thing. Not that I'll be in a two piece anytime soon, but I'd still like to not have my belly look like freddy kruger had his way with it.
I have super light skin. My stretchies were dark purple and on the underside of my belly. They didn't show up until about 35w (delivered at 39w).
They totally disappeared about a month ago. Like, gone. Not even just pale, though my skin is pale. I investigated and there's nothing there that I can see.
Ironically, just before they disappeared, I got comfortable with having them forever.

Mine are gone! I'm sure they're coming back though.
I didn't actually have stretch marks until after DD was born. Boo!!!
