when did you start getting yours?  Does every woman get them?

    My 1 friend did get them and my other friend did not get them.  So I think you got a 50/50 chance.  Although from what I have heard is that its all in y our genetics.

    I didn't get any until about 38-39 weeks, and just a few small ones near my belly button.  Genetics definitely play a role.

    I am 33 weeks and do not have any.  I think it is genetic.  My mom said she did not have any with her first pregnancy but did with my sister (she also gained over 50 pounds that pregnancy).  I did not have any at my 28 week appt. and my dr told me if I did not have any then, then I probably would not get any...I hope she is right!

    Yeah so far I do not have any.  My mom did not have any and my sister did not have any w/ her 1st pg... she had twins the 2nd pg so she grew a lot faster then a single pg and got the stretch marks w/ that one.

    Nope, lots of lucky women go mark free, and many just get a couple.  I got the ultimate deluxe set, covering every spare spot of skin on my belly, sigh, not to mention on my hips, butt, boobs, inner thighs, you name it.  I didn't get them until the end of my 7th month, and they started at the pubic bone, and I watched in horror as they crept their way up up up until they finally ended above my belly button. :(  My mom has them bad, too.

    with my first pg, I was 12-15 lb heavier than this at this point in pg...my stretch marks showed up then at 26 weeks. I have had NO new stretch marks with this pg. I attribute that to my gaining weight slower (and the fact that the skin had already stretched out last year with the first one).
