I thought I was breezing through this pregnancy without any stretch marks (knock on wood), but I'm now entering my 28th week and in the past 2 weeks, my belly's grown like WHOA. I still haven't spotted any stretch marks but was wondering, for those of you that did get them, when did you start noticing them first?
-
I thought I was stretch mark free last time but they popped up around 38 weeks!
-
Hehe I was just going to post this same poll
I also had a MASSIVE growth spurt weeks 29-31 (fundal measurement grew 5 cm in those 14 days) so waiting for them to arrive..
-
I think I noticed the first one at around 18 weeks.
-
Lol I'm 24 weeks and I've had them for a few months now.... my body LOOOVES to stretch mark, so I was expecting it. Still no fun
-
38 weeks. I was so vainly pissed off.
-
I'm about 21 weeks and feel like I see a few... wah!
-
I started noticing around 30 weeks.
-
37 weeks
-
At 32 i had like 2 so i started lotioning like a crazy person. I guess i didnt really notice all the other ones that showed up till DH asked if they hurt- I am 39 now and there are alot... boo.
-
I got my first one at 32 weeks, I was covered by the end of my pregnancy
-
dang ittttt. i thought i was in the clear since i made it through these past two weeks! guess i wont know till the end huh?
-
@juliekim: Ditto! This thread is depressing me. I'm at 30 weeks with no stretch marks but it seems like there is still plenty of time for them to appear....
-
Halfway through my 40th week! But they went away pretty quickly
-
I went to a birthing class this past weekend, and one of the handouts was about stretch marks and said all the usual stuff---genetics, yada yada.
But one thing that was new for me is that the fairer you are, the more likely you are to get the red, angry stretch marks. Bad news for me!
-
I think around 37/38 weeks, I had one on my hip. I had him at 38w3d and then more popped up on my hip after I had him. Not sure how that happened.
-
@Anagram: Oh no
I have none yet at almost 32 weeks, but I am a paley mcpalerson!
-
@Anagram: @maybebaby: I am also suuuuper pale, but I didn't get a single stretch mark. FWIW
-
39 weeks 2 days, but only because her was born the day before, and I could finally see the underside of my belly.
-
@juliekim: @Revel: Same! Sitting at 30 weeks and change and I'm scared they're on the way!
-
@Anagram: I'm pale and the ones I got are red and angry. Still bright red at 5 months pp.
-
@MsLipGloss: ohh promising!
-
I think around week 30 or 32 I got a couple (crap, maybe a little later?) and then i hit a giant growth spurt and they sprouted. But now, at week 38, they are fading and dont' look near as angry or intense! So they were definitely because of my growth spurt
-
I didnt see ANY at all my entire preg. I was so paranoid about this I would even have DH check under my belly where I could not see. Right after I had her and saw my stomach...WAOH!!!! There they were and lots of them. : (
-
I didn't have any until after delivery when my milk came in! Now I have some on my breasts. Boo.
-
Not until sometime after 35 weeks I think. I thought I was on the home stretch then BAM!
-
I got just a couple small ones that disappeared at about 38 weeks.
-
Not until I had the baby. Yep -- they were hiding UNDER my belly essentially where I could not see them during pregnancy. I only have a couple, but still... really depressing.
-
I had three small 2cm stretch marks at 13 weeks....
no more yet at 15 but I'm sure they will come!
-
I checked "other". I never got any stretch marks. It's totally genetic. My mom never got any either.
-
My stretch marks started showing at the end of my 3rd trimester (34 weeks), I started gaining about 1/2 a pound each week and a half.
I also had a MASSIVE growth spurt weeks 29-31 (fundal measurement grew 5 cm in those 14 days) so waiting for them to arrive..
no more yet at 15 but I'm sure they will come!
