At 38 weeks I found my first set of stretch marks. I'm so annoyed. I lotion twice a day.

    The layer of skin where stretchmarks occur is not affected by lotion. Lotion or not, you can still get them. Genetics plays a role in it. Sorry.

    I feel your pain! I see a few at 39! Just when I thought I had dodged that bullet!

    I'm still without but I hear they can appear after you give birth, so I'm not out of the clear yet!

    I had none until last week as well. I just figure that they show my body is real, and that I've experienced motherhood! Annoying yes, but they will fade in time and with weight loss.

    This. But I still lotion twice a day as well. It can't hurt and here I am at 37 weeks with none... knock on wood. If they come in the next few weeks, bummer but oh well. They will fade eventually.

    Omg I was the same way!! No stretch marks then BAM, I found two short, albeit dark, marks. sigh. I've been using palmers stretch mark lotion about twice a day but I'm trying to bump it up to three times a day. I know how frustrated you are!

    If it makes you feel better...I got stretch marks with DS1 and they were almost completely faded within 6 months when I got PG with DS2. They were purple and really hideous and they completely faded to a silvery color that you could hardly see. Don't worry! Smile

    Ssssshhhhh.....you're all supposed to tell me that you're all stretch-mark free and that surely I won't get any!!! Wink

    I didn't get any with DS, but my skin feels soooo much tighter this time.  I keep feeling like at any moment I'm going to look down and see tiger stripes running a long my belly.
