38 weeks. Just really small ones, on my lower belly beneath my belly button.

I started getting them at 14 weeks. I have skin that is super susceptible to them.

Mine are the same as @lovehoneybee's. I got them late (I'm not sure when because I didn't even realize I had them until around 38 weeks) but they are smallish and below my belly button.
Even though they are small they have been really hurting since I had DS almost 3 weeks ago. The pain is kinda like a scratch...that burning pain you get with one. The skin is also really dry/pealing. It seems so strange compared to stretch marks I have in other areas of my body.

@debbiei8: that doesn't sound fun at all, I'm sorry =( I wonder why they would be hurting like that?

@lauraeabel: Cruel! I moisturized, etc. I thought - wow, I made it this far with none! This time I don't even care!

I join the camp of not getting any until the final weeks. I think it was around 38 weeks for me. I only had a little bit though so remember thinking how it wasn't so bad. Then LO was late and I swear they just took over my belly between weeks 40-41

Around 30 weeks. I even got them on the inside of my thighs, all the way down to my knees. Luckily they have faded a lot and I can't really see them any more.

26-28 weeks. Somewhere in there. They started out small and next thing I knew, I was a zebra!

I had tiny little red ones show up before baby M was born.... Two weeks PP, once I was up for looking at my new body in a mirror, I discovered that somehow they had TRIPLED in size...

Man, I got mine early! I wanna say around 13 weeks, but I'm not sure. They came hard and fast!

@Mamasig: ugh, same here. I knew I had ONE near my belly button that appeared around 36 weeks but was kind of shocked the first time I saw myself in the mirror post-delivery.

I seriously did not notice any until after I had her. Thankfully they aren't too bad, though. I'm using Mederma and it seems to be working!

My first one showed up at 37 weeks (last week). I thought I was in the clear!

At 38 weeks all of the sudden I got a TON of them. They didn't look that bad until after my stomach went down to normal size

I thought I was completely in the clear but then one night I saw what looked like stretch marks but really small and short ones here and there on the sides. Not a lot but still had some. I'm still pretty lucky to have not gotten any significant ones that you can see right away. I can probably get away with a two-piece but I would never dare, ever again! I think a lot of my friends got them towards the end when you gain the most weight which is usually during the last month.

Mine started at 37 weeks. I watched them creep up my belly a little each day. They made it above my belly button my the time I delivered 11 days after my due date. It sucks.
