Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like the majority of HBers were blessed with perfect pregnancy skin and I'm SO jealous!
Mine are covering my entire stomach, thighs, butt and hips. I have them everywhere and they're really noticeable.
-
Just a few on my hips
-
Ooooh all over my stomach. Kills me. Em gave me a few new ones but most of the damage was done with H.
-
I didn't get my stretch marks until the last few weeks of my pregnancy, and luckily it's just a few marks around my belly button. It's mostly faded but kind of evident from certain angles. My stomach was also huge comparison to a lot of people I've seen in real life and Hellobee.
-
G gave me stretch marks from my belly button down to well under my bikini line, my hips, boobs, upper thighs, behind my knees, & my arms right at my armpits!
P added a couple to the top part of my belly (I carried her higher).
I've come to terms with them for the most part.
-
Stomach and muffin top/sides. I have like, 3 on the lower left side of my back. Wtf?
-
I got some right on the last couple days. I swear more popped
up after I had R. -
Yup, under my belly button!
-
I got them on my stomach, down my thighs, around my ass...errrwhere!
-
all over my stomach, nowhere else
-
I have them on my stomach, sides, and thighs. Some even popped up on my boobs, probably from BFing. They are super noticeable and I'm super jealous of you ladies that don't have them!
-
i voted i only have a few but the few i have are deep and wide... they were on the underside of my belly so i didn't even know i had them until late into my pregnancy. dh acted like he never saw them...
-
All over my stomach. There terrible
-
I've got them all over. I tell DH that the ones on my stomach are a tattoo that say "I love you baby!"
-
I got like 3 faint ones at 40 weeks but they went away after E was born so I voted I don't have any.
-
below belly button, thighs, bikini area and muffin top area! And we'll see what I can add to that in the next several weeks.
-
I have only a handful on my stomach, but tons on my hips!! And my boobs!
-
I was very lucky and didn't get them BUT, I do have stretch marks on my thighs/hips from a big growth spurt I had when I was 12, so I've lived with these for a while.
-
I had none through my whole pregnancy - I swear my belly was perfect! Literally no stretch marks when I went in for the c-section and then the first time I saw my belly after my c-section, I guess the following evening, it had stretch marks on it! So sad! They aren't that bad though and are starting to fade. They are around my belly button.
-
I've got stretch marks on my stomach and hips. I noticed them late in my pregnancy when my LO got huge later on and I could barely see anything under my belly.
-
I got 'em, unfortunately I'm just not genetically blessed!
Here are mine at full term:
-
None on my stomach, but all over my hips and thighs. Some even around my knees in the right light!!!
-
I got just a few on my hips.
-
@fancyfunction: oh yeah I had those too... but I still wore a bikini. with the ones I have now? fuhgeddaboutit!
@Kemma: brave mama! love it!
-
I look like I rolled around in barbed wire.
-
I didn't get any from pregnancy, but I already had a few on my hips and thighs from growth spurts as a tween.
-
I didn't get any until about 38+ weeks of pregnancy
they were small and have sice faded about 85-90%. My oB said they would since they came so late in the game and my skin de-stretched so soon afterwards.
I have to admit: I wasn't great about oils and creams. I was post partum though!! I think it majorly helped in fading them out. They still fade little by little. -
At the very end (week 38-39) I noticed a few on one thigh but they were gone after I delivered. I can still feel them though? My skin doesn't look any different but if I run my hand down the side of my leg it feels like under the skin is broken up, it's weird.
-
I have them.
-
@Mrs. Pen: I've even worn my bikini to the beach since having baby!
-
I have them every where. I m pretty sure my fingers and toes were spared but every where else was fair game. I have come to terms mostly. I am still really self conscious about my legs though. I just didn't expect so much damage there
-
I only had a couple on my stomach before delivery, but a bunch appeared afterwards. They are all below my belly button.
-
I only got some on my hips but she was breech and I wonder if that affected it in terms of where I grew...
-
I didn't. But I got them on my thighs when I had my teenage growth spurt.
-
I only got them on my hips. It's kind of weird-- I only got 2 or 3 small marks on my left side, but I got a lot more on my right side. So weird. They haven't really faded in the last 18 months, but then I seem to remember the stretch marks I got during puberty taking years and years to fade, too.
-
I have some on my hips and some under my belly button. The belly ones showed up at 38 weeks.
-
all around my belly button! like a hug. but not a pretty hug
-
I just got two small ones on my hips but they aren't noticeable, I got lucky but they just don't run in my family.
-
It's genetic. I didn't get any, even though I didn't do anything to prevent them. My mom never got any either.
-
I don't know how I got so lucky but stretch marks just don't run in my family - I've never had a stretch mark in my life and neither has my mom, despite having three kids.
ETA: @skibobrown: same, I didn't do anything to prevent them as I wasn't that fussed. I think a lot of those products (anti stretch mark creams, anti cellulite creams etc) are fairly useless anyway!
