Yep -- they were hiding UNDER my belly essentially where I could not see them during pregnancy. I only have a couple, but still... really depressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-noticing-stretch-marks#post-669278 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 18:11:27 +0000 StbHisMrs 669278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got just a couple small ones that disappeared at about 38 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-noticing-stretch-marks#post-669271 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 18:05:51 +0000 iheartleopardprint 669271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until sometime after 35 weeks I think.

I was so paranoid about this I would even have DH check under my belly where I could not see. Right after I had her and saw my stomach...WAOH!!!! There they were and lots of them. : ( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-noticing-stretch-marks#post-668564 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:04:36 +0000 blackbird 668564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around week 30 or 32 I got a couple (crap, maybe a little later?) and then i hit a giant growth spurt and they sprouted. But now, at week 38, they are fading and dont' look near as angry or intense! So they were definitely because of my growth spurt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-noticing-stretch-marks#post-668509 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:52:40 +0000 maybebaby 668509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: ohh promising! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-noticing-stretch-marks#post-668357 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:15:59 +0000 mrskc 668357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I'm pale and the ones I got are red and angry.
