No matter how much I lotioned up, I still got stretch marks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1320155 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 22:38:56 +0000 lovehoneybee 1320155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early third trimester, and I got stretchmarks at the end--38 weeks or so. And barely any, all on my lower belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1320126 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 22:23:25 +0000 .twist. 1320126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lolz.

I carried all up in my ribs and all out in front, so I was very itchy very early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1320109 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 22:14:57 +0000 Zbug 1320109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think third trimester but didn't end up with stretch marks even though I was sure they were coming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1320103 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 22:12:12 +0000 fussygal 1320103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 28 weeks and my belly feels tight after big meals, but not really any other time. I'm waiting for it though...I'm sure it's coming :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1319848 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:30:02 +0000 MrsKoala 1319848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote but mine started to feel tight around 25-26 weeks. Still no stretch marks yet though at 36 weeks tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1319728 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 18:27:08 +0000 anandam 1319728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I feel the same way with only one trying to grow in my short torso.

I'm not sure where the food goes because there doesn't seem to be any vacant space. I'm just scared about what's to come! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1319704 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 18:06:45 +0000 Mamasig 1319704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 3rd trimester, but I didn't actually see the stretch marks until after giving birth. I thought I had it made with no stretch marks.

I got a couple stretch marks around 35 weeks, but the rest didn't actually show up until after she was born. I thought I was more or less in the clear until I saw myself in the mirror a couple days postpartum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1319687 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 17:51:15 +0000 artsyfartsy 1319687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My belly just started feeling tight and stretched to the max around 30 weeks. But I got stretch marks around 24 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1319675 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 17:40:56 +0000 twodoghouse 1319675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at 21 weeks and the last couple weeks my stomach is super tight. I can't imagine what the next few months will bring!

That is when the stretch marks started too :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1319608 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 17:09:25 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1319608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My belly felt tight around 30 weeks or so, and the drier my skin was, the worse it felt. I wouldn't say it was mega-tight though, but I got a TON of stretchmarks. I don't know that tightness equals stretchmarks though - you might be in the clear. Do lotions help with the itchiness at least? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-belly-feel-tight#post-1319604 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 17:06:33 +0000 anandam 1319604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering when you felt your belly skin get tight and how that compared to stretch marks appearing...</p> <p>I'm only 22 weeks with my first and feel like I'm stretched to the max, especially after a meal. Belly skin feels tight all the time, and itchy at bedtime. Lotions don't really help much. I'm just waiting for the stretch marks to explode.</p> <p>Where is the rest of this baby going to fit?!<br /> Is it normal to feel that way? </p>
