I was a little ragey because I thought I had avoided any, but they are so small I can't really complain too much. Hoping next time around they don't get bigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them/page/2#post-1935453 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 20:00:18 +0000 PrincessBaby 1935453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got them with LO1, but I was religious putting on Mama Mio belly oil. I have been using it this pregnancy but I forget so we'll see how it goes:) I'm not stressing. They can be lasered off, worst case scenario:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them/page/2#post-1935446 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 19:48:32 +0000 FaithFertility 1935446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None yet, I had a few on my hips that seem more dominate now but none on my belly, my mother never had them with all 4 kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1935194 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:10:11 +0000 JennyPenny 1935194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was religious about applying oil to my belly, but then around 20 weeks I noticed a bunch on my hips. I extended my slathering to my hips and never got any more there. I had one mark on my belly show up around 36 weeks. But considering my mom had TERRIBLE stretch marks, I'm thanking my lucky stars - and that oil :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1935192 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:09:24 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1935192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After I gave birth I got them on my breasts! Probably because they grew so much when my milk came in. I got one on my hip before I gave birth but it was tiny. Hoping I can avoid more this time but we shall see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1935187 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:07:48 +0000 autumnlove 1935187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right at the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1935178 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:04:18 +0000 cmomma17 1935178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right at the end!

I gave birth at 40 weeks and 1 day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1935166 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:01:40 +0000 sarac 1935166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I went past 40 weeks! FML! And I only gained 12 pounds, so it doesn't always track with that, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934837 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:56:49 +0000 meredithNYC 1934837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never got any, though my mom has several. I did, however, already have some from gaining/losing a lot of weight in my 20s, so I'm not even sure that I would have minded much.</p> <p>For what it's worth, I moisturized my stomach morning and night with cocoa butter oil :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934826 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:54:13 +0000 erinpye 1934826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1, none during pregnancy. I only got some on my boobs after delivery, when my milk came in. With LO 2, I got 2 tiny ones on a scar I have on my stomach, somewhere toward the end of my pregnancy- definitely after 30 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934407 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 10:55:58 +0000 Blueberry 1934407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine didn't show up until around 38 weeks but they were suuupper light, you could barely tell. Ask your mother about hers if you can. My doctor said that it is all genetic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934403 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 10:55:20 +0000 BandDmommy 1934403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None with first pregnancy. I'm 36 weeks today and still none. My mom never got any, it has a lot to do with genetics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934388 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 10:48:10 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1934388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck - I already had them pre-pregnancy so I'm sure it is only a matter of time before pregnancy gives me more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934350 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 10:35:27 +0000 pui 1934350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started getting them at 20 weeks, but I am super prone to stretch marks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934269 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 09:44:26 +0000 coopsmama 1934269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a bunch but not until after 36 weeks with my first. I don't think I got any new ones with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934264 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 09:39:41 +0000 snowjewelz 1934264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them somewhere in the late 2nd tri/early 3rd tri? They're still happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934255 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 09:35:09 +0000 mrsjyw 1934255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't but my mom didn't either. Think it's genetics and luck! I gained nearly 40 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934249 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 09:29:55 +0000 Mamasig 1934249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I was in the clear. Nope. They came out after I had the babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934194 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:57:05 +0000 BigHlittleh 1934194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I was in the clear, and then, bam! At 34 weeks, there they were. I got them on the sides of my hips and small ones on my thighs. I didn't get any on my stomach. I'm now pregnant with twins, so I'm sure that'll change. Don't worry too much- they fade after a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934171 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:49:37 +0000 LiveLove 1934171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I got them on my thighs in the second trimester and the belly ones didn't show up till about 35-36 weeks. Second time around they showed up almost immediately. https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934105 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:23:23 +0000 LBee 1934105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one small one on the side of my hip either early postpartum or during delivery. None other than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934104 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:23:09 +0000 JennyG 1934104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started at about 30 weeks. Ugh, they are the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934099 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:19:39 +0000 rattles 1934099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>38.5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934095 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:16:05 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1934095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got 2 &amp; I didn't notice until maybe 35 or 36 weeks? The other one I didn't notice until a year post partum! It's on my belly button &amp; on top of the slight scar from removing my belly button ring so I never noticed. The day I found out I was pregnant I bought stretch mark cream &amp; it went on twice a day every day. So far I've kept that up with my second pregnancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934089 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:10:00 +0000 Orchid 1934089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I was pretty religious about slathering on Spoiled Mamas Belly butter. Man, I went through too many of those! But no stretch marks on my belly at all. After baby, a few popped up on the side of my left hip though! I'm pretty ok with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934083 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:05:44 +0000 yellowbird 1934083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I got two during labor and delivery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretch-markswhen-did-you-get-them#post-1934082 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:04:42 +0000 Ree723 1934082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two pregnancies, zero stretch marks. I think it's genetic as my mom never had any either. We just have elastic skin :-) </p>
