I watched them creep up my belly a little each day. They made it above my belly button my the time I delivered 11 days after my due date. It sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1553105 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:23:22 +0000 erwoo 1553105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I was completely in the clear but then one night I saw what looked like stretch marks but really small and short ones here and there on the sides. Not a lot but still had some. I'm still pretty lucky to have not gotten any significant ones that you can see right away. I can probably get away with a two-piece but I would never dare, ever again! :P I think a lot of my friends got them towards the end when you gain the most weight which is usually during the last month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1553103 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:22:53 +0000 wonderstruck 1553103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 38 weeks all of the sudden I got a TON of them. They didn't look that bad until after my stomach went down to normal size :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1553055 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:09:01 +0000 preggomeggo82 1553055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first one showed up at 37 weeks (last week). I thought I was in the clear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1552973 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 08:49:02 +0000 annie624 1552973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I seriously did not notice any until after I had her. Thankfully they aren't too bad, though. I'm using Mederma and it seems to be working! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1547278 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 19:34:27 +0000 MrsH 1547278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started at 33 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1547232 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 19:04:54 +0000 PurplePeony 1547232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: ugh, same here. I knew I had ONE near my belly button that appeared around 36 weeks but was kind of shocked the first time I saw myself in the mirror post-delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1547154 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 18:00:02 +0000 MrsTiz 1547154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, I got mine early!

Two weeks PP, once I was up for looking at my new body in a mirror, I discovered that somehow they had TRIPLED in size... :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1547146 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 17:57:18 +0000 MrsRcCar 1547146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 33 weeks with my first.

I even got them on the inside of my thighs, all the way down to my knees. Luckily they have faded a lot and I can't really see them any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1546914 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 15:47:13 +0000 BeatlesFan629 1546914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I join the camp of not getting any until the final weeks. I think it was around 38 weeks for me. I only had a little bit though so remember thinking how it wasn't so bad. Then LO was late and I swear they just took over my belly between weeks 40-41 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1546888 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 15:35:19 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1546888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>39w+ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1546886 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 15:33:18 +0000 Mamasig 1546886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lauraeabel: Cruel!

I got them late (I'm not sure when because I didn't even realize I had them until around 38 weeks) but they are smallish and below my belly button.</p> <p>Even though they are small they have been really hurting since I had DS almost 3 weeks ago. The pain is kinda like a scratch...that burning pain you get with one. The skin is also really dry/pealing. It seems so strange compared to stretch marks I have in other areas of my body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1546649 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 13:52:19 +0000 pui 1546649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started getting them at 14 weeks. I have skin that is super susceptible to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1546646 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 13:51:08 +0000 coopsmama 1546646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was around 34-35 weeks if I remember correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stretchmark-question#post-1546641 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 13:47:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 1546641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>38 weeks.
