Stretch marks - how many weeks were you when you first noticed them & where were they?

I am obsessed w/ the whole stretch mark thing. For those who got stretch marks, how far along in your pregnancy were you when you first noticed them? Where on your stomach/body were they? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Stretch marks - how many weeks were you when you first noticed them & where were they?

I first noticed mine at 32 weeks. They are on my upper hips towards my back - the one section I wasn't focussing on with the cocoa butter. (I was doing belly, butt and thighs)

Needless to say, I now include that area in my cocoa butter regimen, but its too late... Hope they go away after I lose the weght. Chat Icon

Good luck.

I got mine during the first pregnancy around 8/9 weeks...they have never gone away. Mine are on my tummy mostly.

If you are genetically prone to get them, you are going to get them. There is no hiding from them. Cocoa butter won't prevent them if they are in your genetics.

I think I was around 30w, maybe even 29w. They are below my belly button....they look like brains.

I got my first one (a small one) at around 28/29 weeks to the left of my belly button.

I now have a few more, to the left and right of my belly button Chat Icon

With my first I got a few tiny ones the week before I had her (37 weeks). I got 2 tiny, tiny ones on my lower right side and one tiny one around my belly button.
Now with the 3rd pregnancy (2nd at this point) I have a road mapChat Icon

I can't remeber the exact timing, but I know I noticed a few small ones on my butt (which I didn't think could ever get any bigger than it was) probably in the later 20s weeks. I also wound up with a few on my boobs, but that's to be expected, I went from a 34 B to a 36 E when I was BFing. Chat Icon DS is now 16 months and they are all very light. I know some people's stretch marks stay kind of red, but mine are really light white. I wish I didn't have them but they're not too bad.

I had one around 20 weeks a tiny one... by the 3rd trimester they were all over around my belly button. Looks like DD is trying to claw herself out
