I don't have one yet at almost 23 weeks. I can't remember when the lines popped up for my previous pregnancies!

Nope (27 weeks tomorrow) Never got one while pregnant with LO1 so I will be surprised if I get one this time!

I don't have one at 23 weeks either. Does it pop up all at once, or does the line start somewhere and grow over time/get darker with time?

I'm 31 weeks and don't have one. I didn't get one last time either. I'm pretty fair skinned though and I think it is more common with darker skin.

Mine came more towards the end, but 7 months pp I still have a bit of it left.

I have one and I'm 7 weeks post partum. I can't remember when I got it...
I'm fair skinned, my doc asked if I tan easily and I said no, that I'm pretty much always pale and he said that it is usually darker skin / people who tan well... weird that I have it. I hope it goes away!

Nope, never got one through both pregnancies. I'm fair and naturally blonde, so it's not surprising.

I had one with DS, definitely by 5 months. With DD I didn't have one, at least, it wasn't noticeable until AFTER I gave birth. I had an extremely faint line for a few months PP. I'm really fair skinned.

I definitely got one around 25+ weeks with DD, and it lasted for a while post partum. I can still faintly see where it was and I'm positive it will come back again with this pregnancy. I have olive skin so I guess its common.

I never had one with D. It showed up with S. But I'm not sure which week. It didn't go away, so it was there the whole pregnancy with M. Its long gone now.

@Boogs: same here! 7 months pp starting to wonder if it will ever go away.... I don't remember when it arrived.

I got one very early with DS and it never completely went away PP. It's almost colorless, but it's there.

I had a very light one last time, but I can't remember when it appeared. I'm 26 weeks now and it hasn't shown up yet.

Yep it's lighter this time than last and it showed up in the last month but same line as last time! I'm 28 weeks

I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and don't have one yet. I'm really pale skinned, and I can see a long vein in the area that one would appear, but it's more the blue-green vein color, not tan or brown.

Yup! I loved watching it develop starting around my bikini line and slowly move up my belly. I guess I am olive skin tone?
pomelo / 5000 posts
Yes--I don't remember when it showed up though. 3 months PP and I feel like it got darker after I delivered.
eggplant / 11861 posts
Yep and 4.5 months pp it is just now getting lighter
@Happygal: Yes mine did too, I think because your skin is stretched out it looks lighter

Nothing last time (made it to 33w), and nothing so far this time (26w tomorrow). But I'm super fair skinned, so not surprised.

I got one with my first and while it hadnt completely faded once I got pregnant with LO2 it never got darker and continued to fade during my entire second pregnancy

Mine, which is short and faint, wasn't even noticable until after I delivered
nectarine / 2086 posts
I have a very very faint one. 25w now, can't remember when it showed up but its been here for a couple months prob. Hasn't gotten darker. And it only goes up to my belly button.

Im 4 weeks, 5 days and just noticed one this morning! It's light, but definitely there. How weird it's here so "early."
pomelo / 5607 posts
I just noticed a faint line this morning! I never saw it while I was actually pregnant, but maybe now that the skin isn't so stretched it's clearer.
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
I did, starting very early, both times, and I'm quite fair. Weird.

I never got one with my first pregnancy, and I'm 34 weeks with my second, and I still don't have one.
pomegranate / 3521 posts
Yes. I forget when it showed up. I have olive skin - I'm guessing that's why it would be expected? It's pretty loud and proud right now at almost 40 weeks

Not yet (28 weeks)... I got one with my first towards the end but it was pretty light.
nectarine / 2834 posts
I had one with my first, I think around 32 weeks. I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and nothing. The stretch marks have more than made up for its absence....sigh....

I'm 31 weeks and I have one but it's not dark. But it's definitely there. I am very light complected too.
