Stretch marks...

I'm 29weeks along, and am still waiting to see a stretch mark, and haven't gotten any yet (*knock on wood*), but I suspect that they don't start until later for some reason.

Have you gotten them? If so, when did you notice the 1st "track"?

I started getting them around 20 weeks. But I was always prone to them. They are so disgustingChat Icon

Re: Stretch marks...

Unfortunately, I'm just doomed to get them. I had them prior to pregnancy because of a drastic weight gain and the pregnancy just made them a million times worse. They've barely started to fade and now I'm preggo again, so they'll get even WORSE, I'm sure. I'm seriously considering paying the money to have them removed by laser surgery once I'm done having children. Chat Icon

ETA: You girls that don't get them are SO lucky!

DH first noticed a few around 30 weeks. He was "sweet" enough to point them out for me!!! Chat Icon Now he reminds me to put creme on them all the time. He also keeps me updated on the progression of them -- "Oh look sweetie -- you have more"!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I've used coca butter faithfully since I 1st got pregnant. Whether it helps or not, at 40 Weeks I don't have any!. Mom and my sister never got any and used nothing! I heard you can get them afterward, so we shall see.

Re: Stretch marks...

I am so jealous of you ladies you are not getting them. I am 21 weeks and COVERED in them already (hence why I refuse a bare belly shot).

Re: Stretch marks...

I started getting a few on my side at about 34 weeks, I now have some on my lower belly. My mother and all my aunts had them, I knew I was doomed.Chat Icon

Re: Stretch marks...

i am 26 weeks and i have none yet, either (thank god!) i have been putting every cream inamginable on every day and so far nothing. but i heard, in the end, they are hereditary, so if mom got 'em, you will too. thankfully, my mom never got 'em! keeping my fingers crossed!

Re: Stretch marks...

I don't have any on my stomach ( I thought I would because my mom has them and I had them on my hips before being PG) BUT, now I see some more on my hips and my chest. They appeared AFTER I had my son. I think you get them on your chest after your milk comes in!
