  I slather myself with coconut oil twice daily and I don't have any yet. I've heard it is more common when you are younger, no idea why, but I know I got some on my hips when I went through puberty.

  Got mine at 37 weeks last time. 

  
  

  My SIL swears that by eating avocado she avoided them. She was eating 2-3 a day. I'd rather stretch marks,

  I was feeling so great at 32 weeks when at my shower some family members asked if I had any stretch marks. "Nope! not one" I said proudly.
  
  Well baby sure showed me! At 34 weeks baby started to move down and grow really fast. Now I have tons of stretch marks on my lower belly that have appeared really in the last 2 weeks. I guess it's part of being mommy. I just wished they didn't itch so bad! I've been using mamma Mia oil since the beginning and continue to use. It helps at the beginning of the day, but I need more before bed to keep the itching away.

  I didn't start getting them until I hit 35wks. I got one little one under my belly on the left, one little one on my right hip and now a weird very light wrinkle looking (?) group under my belly button. The belly button patch started this week when Little Dude decided to fully drop into position. It'll be interesting to see where he is on that pelvic number scale when I go in for my appt today.

  
  

  ETA - I've been using organic coconut oil after every shower and when I feel itchy. It's been a nice moisturizer but I know it won't really do anything for the stretch marks right now.

  I don't have any (that I can see LOL).  When I was pregnant with my son I got them on my inner thighs and my boobs but with this pregnancy I have not seen them at all.  My belly is just VERY WHITE from not seeing the light of day.  When I did have them with my previous pregnancy I got them about 30 weeks (when I really started to show) I used Mederma for stretch marks a little pricey but definitely worth it.

  I do have one purple line on my belly but can't see to tell if it's a stretch mark or a vein and the OH doesn't know what I'm talking about

  None on my belly so far, but I do have some on the underside of my boobs. From puberty I have them on my inner thighs so I figure it just a matter of time before the appear on my belly.

  I only got them with my first. Only on the thighs. Probably because my ass exploded that pregnancy along with my stomach. My second I didn't gain as much weight and no new stretch marks appeared. This time (so far) no new ones…but not out of the woods yet.
