They look TERRIBLE - I think I got even more new ones after giving birth when my milk came in. But I'll take it because I didn't get any stretch marks anywhere else even though I went a week overdue, and no one except DH and LO are going to see my boobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-217775 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:34:03 +0000 Mrs. Pen 217775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 weeks I got a tiny little one on the underside of my belly. And from then on it escalated exponentially. My stomach exploded basically - it is FULL of stretch marks. They are above my belly button all the way down to my pubis bone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-217729 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:01:17 +0000 Mrsbells 217729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my stretch marks arrived in the final weeks around week 38 or 39. I honestly wasnt sure at first because the skin over my belly button just started to look really shiny. By week 40 I could see clear stretch marks but they looked more noticeable and much worse once after the birth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-217724 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:56:49 +0000 rachiecakes 217724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>38 weeks - just a small patch on one thigh (they're gone now, 7 months later) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-217681 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:25:36 +0000 Bluebonnet 217681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them on my belly at 39 weeks. I was so mad - I thought I was in the clear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-217680 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:22:44 +0000 banana 217680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 32 weeks I saw one and I freaked out and started rubbing cocoa butter like crazy. And I thought that was it. Then after birth, I realized I had like 10 more. I just didn't see them cause they were under my belly. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-216904 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 20:09:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 216904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>37 weeks.</p> <p>and they came in full force! my belly looks like a road map. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-216885 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 19:42:34 +0000 BeachMama 216885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got stretch marks but I got the line down my belly AFTER delivery which I thought was really strange. 6 weeks later it's still there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-216836 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 19:01:55 +0000 autumnlove 216836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stretch marks showed up a month before my baby was due! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-216821 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:54:16 +0000 oliviaoblivia 216821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Got them on my boobs by nine weeks.

She didn't get any new ones with me or my other brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-216694 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:10:57 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 216694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine showed up around months 7-8. Baby Jumper was breech, and I have stretch marks in the shape of her position (like her head, her bum, and her feet).</p> <p>I wish I was joking. They're pretty faded at this point, but... there's an outline of my kid on my belly. Creepy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-216690 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:07:21 +0000 KatieLynn 216690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine showed up at 39 weeks! I was convinced I wasn't going to get them, because my mom did not get them, but alas, I wasn't so lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-216679 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:59:30 +0000 Honeybee 216679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any with DD, but I got a couple on my belly with DS. They didn't show up (or I just didn't notice them ) until about a week postpartum; sneaky little devils! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-216678 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:58:36 +0000 Beyond2 216678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first stretch marks showed up in month 7. I have them on my thighs and boobs. Nothing on the belly yet though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-stretch-marks-show-up#post-216677 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:57:30 +0000 Beyond2 216677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your stretch marks show up and where did you see them first? </p>
