I didn't get any until I was 39 weeks pregnant, and I got 2 on my side. I made it to 41+2 and no more appeared.

My first one was at 28 weeks and then they just kept coming.

I got my first stretch mark around 38 weeks and then they just kept coming.

First ones on the undersides of my breasts around 24wks and then no more there until postpartum engorgement, when they exploded. They're purple.

First on belly were around 36wks and spread rapidly over the next couple of weeks, but were light like LuLu Mom said. Postpartum it's just wobbly skin, no visible stripes.

I got exactly one. It was at the end of my third pregnancy. It's also exactly where they made an incision for my laproscopy, though, so it's a scar instead of a mark, now.

I have 6 - 3 on either side of my torso. I've had them since about 20 weeks? But they keep getting longer and wider and redder. I'm 32.5 weeks now.

I had a quite few show up around 18 weeks (eek!). I had just switched to this super expensive stretch mark cream. I thought it couldn't hurt to switch back to my burts bees lemon oil (it smelled great) - and never another stretch mark. Olivia was born at 39.3. I'm not sure it was the oil - but I can't help but think it helped. Either way, a roadmap isn't necessarily in your future. If it is though, those little ones are so worth it!

I got my first one super early like 22-25 weeks? And they just kept appearing super fast and even 2.5 years later they are crazy noticeable.
