I went to 41 weeks and gained 42 pounds. I had a c-section though (no labor) and baby never dropped. I've heard of some people getting them when baby drops. This thread sounds encouraging for you hoping to evade them though :) Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-413180 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 09:23:26 +0000 hilsy85 413180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I managed to escape them all together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-413148 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 06:19:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 413148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sprouted stretch marks under my boobs when my milk came in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-413147 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 06:19:42 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 413147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 days postpartum and nothing yet.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-413144 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 05:54:33 +0000 travelgirl1 413144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, 19 dpp, none on belly but the ones on my hips have gotten a bit worse.

So I'm guessing it could stay either way - I'll stay hopeful, but cautious : ) </p> <p>DH used the analogy of a balloon - you don't see any lines when it's blown up, but as it deflates, it gets all wrinkly, ha ha. Kinda makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-379180 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 13:08:50 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 379180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get them while pregnant (went to 41 weeks, gained 30lb), but they were there when I got home from the hospital. :( They're the purplish kind &amp; all underneath my belly button.

Like @chopsuey119: they're really light and hard to see, so I'm not sure if I just didn't notice them in pregnancy, or if they didn't appear until after birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-378761 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:33:22 +0000 travelgirl1 378761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You girls are making me feel hopeful!

My belly is much smaller now, i was able to get in pre preg jeans, they were a little tight... and my belly is squishy - still putting on the palmers hoping none appear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-378662 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:54:48 +0000 mediagirl 378662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No stretch marks. My belly is a big saggy, though. I guess you could say some of the sags look like stretch marks, but they're not. If I exercised, the sag would probably go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-378660 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:54:23 +0000 travelgirl1 378660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Yeah that's what I've gained! I had no idea my body was even capable of gaining that amount!!! Ah well, at this stage I just give in to it and have another cookie : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-378655 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:53:08 +0000 chopsuey 378655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: mostly on my hips!

Did you get lots?</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I'll keep holding onto that!!</p> <p>@Mrsbells: Did you get a lot?</p> <p>I have a tattoo too and I'm DREADING seeing how much that's stretched when I can finally see that point of my belly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-378626 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:42:58 +0000 Mrsbells 378626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also didnt see them until after the baby was born. its hard to see when your belly is stretched out. Around 37 weeks or so I started to notice that the skin around my belly button was extra shiny and I suspected that it might caused by stretchmarks, but I Couldnt see them for sure until after the baby was born </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-get-stretch-marks-while-prego-did-they-appear-later#post-378620 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:41:46 +0000 Mrs. Bee 378620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was huge with charlie but i didn't get any stretch marks after he was born! </p>
