When did you get stretch marks? I know I will get them eventually. My mother and sister are covered in them. Just wondering when I should expect them, gonna wear a bathing suit as long as possible Wink

With my DD I didn't get them until month 9..

Right now waiting patiently..nothing yet.. child number 2.

Nothing yet on my tummy area. I have a few on my boobs that have popped up at some point though.

When I hit puberty. Then again in high school. Then some more in college. Then some more with DD1, and now more with DD2...I'm a decorated vet!

I thought I was going to get away without getting ANY & then they popped up around 33 - 34 weeks. I was devastated. They've now officially taken over.

None yet and hoping for the best

I don't have any yet, but I'm expecting them to pop up pretty soon. Even though I haven't changed my diet in any way, I haven't been gaining weight steadily. I've gone 4 weeks without gaining an ounce, then gaining 10lbs in 4 weeks, then gaining nothing for another 4 weeks. I'm just positive one of these days I'll have another quick gain and those babies will pop up.

Im a little over 35 weeks and woke up to my first one this morning!!! Needless to say I am now drowning in body butter - because I like to pretend this is going to keep them away forever..

OH NO! I was hoping that since I haven't had any yet that I was in the clear.

38 weeks. It was sad. I was so happy I'd been through my whole pregnancy without stretch marks and then boom! At 38 weeks, they showed up.

Past pregnancy:: 36.5 weeks I got my first one... I only noticed the ones on my hips, but found out afterwards I had also gotten some on my upper thighs.. not sure when those came in.

This time I seem to have just reused the old ones. Haven't noticed any more and I'm 40 weeks on Friday

Stretch marks are baffling...I got them on my boobs around 17 weeks maybe? And they had only grown one cup size. None on my belly, and I'm 34 weeks...my belly has done the most stretching and growing but no marks yet...crazy.

A couple small ones around 7-8 months but most the last month of pregnancy.

My mom also has a ton so I was expecting the worst, but here I am at 37 weeks and I have none so far....I'm not counting them out yet though! I hear a lot of women get them after they give birth! I consider myself lucky for getting this far though and credit it to gaining weight slowly and steadily. I lost weight in first tri and then randomly gained 8 lbs in 4 weeks, but since then I have literally gained 1 lb a week so I think that has helped.
