    I couldn't really see any throughout the pregnancy, but by about 4-6 weeks pp they were visible so they must have started during the pregnancy. Tiny ones, not super noticeable, and only below my belly button.

    I got one tiny one where my pants button would lie if I was wearing jeans. It's pretty tiny and I got one that's hardly visible on my inner thigh. I got them around 32 weeks.


    Together 6 wonderful years.

    A day or two after delivery. I was so mad...I spent the last week of my pregnancy bragging to my husband about my lack of stretch marks :( One year later and they're not terrible. I think in another year they'll have disappeared entirely (I hope!).

    Mine were in first tri, but I think it was more from all the IVF meds and early pregnancy hormones. I tend to get hormonal stretch marks from fertility meds. Since then, nada. It is what it is, you can't do anything about it so don't let it freak ya out :)

    With my first, I went until 41 weeks. I started getting stretch marks right after my actual due date. So if she was on time, I probably wouldn't have gotten any.

    With my twin pregnancy, I started getting them the week i delivered.

    With my singleton DS, they showed up at about 35 weeks, I was huge :( On a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lightest hint of them), I would put them at a 3, maybe 4. Good part though is that they have pretty much faded. I am expecting to get them again this time, and I know it is genetic for the most part, but I would like to stay at a 3-4, pretty please... If not, oh well, there are worse things to have happen (just ask my boobs!!)
