My first stretch marks showed up in month 7. I have them on my thighs and boobs. Nothing on the belly yet though.

I didn't get any with DD, but I got a couple on my belly with DS. They didn't show up (or I just didn't notice them ) until about a week postpartum; sneaky little devils!

Mine showed up at 39 weeks! I was convinced I wasn't going to get them, because my mom did not get them, but alas, I wasn't so lucky.

Mine showed up around months 7-8. Baby Jumper was breech, and I have stretch marks in the shape of her position (like her head, her bum, and her feet).
I wish I was joking. They're pretty faded at this point, but... there's an outline of my kid on my belly. Creepy.

I'm 35 weeks and haven't gotten any yet, but I have some old ones from weight fluctuations in high school so I'm waiting...
My mom got them bad with her first pregnancy, but she also had twins, so it's hard to compare myself to her. She didn't get any new ones with me or my other brother.

I never got stretch marks but I got the line down my belly AFTER delivery which I thought was really strange. 6 weeks later it's still there!

Around 32 weeks I saw one and I freaked out and started rubbing cocoa butter like crazy. And I thought that was it. Then after birth, I realized I had like 10 more. I just didn't see them cause they were under my belly.

I got them on my belly at 39 weeks. I was so mad - I thought I was in the clear.

38 weeks - just a small patch on one thigh (they're gone now, 7 months later)

my stretch marks arrived in the final weeks around week 38 or 39. I honestly wasnt sure at first because the skin over my belly button just started to look really shiny. By week 40 I could see clear stretch marks but they looked more noticeable and much worse once after the birth

20 weeks I got a tiny little one on the underside of my belly. And from then on it escalated exponentially. My stomach exploded basically - it is FULL of stretch marks. They are above my belly button all the way down to my pubis bone.

On my boobs somewhere around 25 weeks I think? They look TERRIBLE - I think I got even more new ones after giving birth when my milk came in. But I'll take it because I didn't get any stretch marks anywhere else even though I went a week overdue, and no one except DH and LO are going to see my boobs.
