I am 30 weeks and have yet to see a new stretch mark. Old ones are more noticeable on my hips but what can you do. I am curious when did you notice stretch marks?
-
28 weeks.
-
I'm following this. I'm 27 weeks and I don't have any, YET.
-
Different for everyone, unfortunately. But I didn't really notice them last time until 34-35 weeks, and then it was like they were everywheeeeeere...
-
@lilteacherbee: that's how I feel. At what point are you safe? Lol
-
Curious as well... I'm 28 weeks and nothing...yet. I have plenty of old ones from puberty/getting fat back in the day, but nothing from baby (so far!)!
-
I have a friend that didn't get any until 40 weeks! I don't think you're ever safe. Even after you've had the baby! I got more on my boobs when my milk came in. And I've heard some people say they got new ones on their belly after the baby was born, but I feel like that's more unlikely.
-
37-38 weeks for me. Belly area
-
I never got any on my belly, but got a couple on each boob within a few days of delivery.
-
Belly ones at 32 weeks. Hip ones at eight weeks. I've been truly blessed.
-
Mine happened early! 16 weeks I saw a few and then by 30, I had dozens.
-
Mine started in week 34
-
I just got the start of my first ones at 31 weeks.
-
33 weeks, they got worse every day. By 40 weeks I was covered.
-
Ha. I think at 9 weeks my hip ones started peaking through. They slowly moved up to my love handles and I started seeing belly ones at 27 weeks, now at 28 weeks they're for sure there. Boob ones just gradually happened but they're faint at least.
Daily lotion rub downs aren't doing squat for me. Damn you genetics! I cried thinking about how il be at 40 weeks haha
-
I got a few on my hips at 37 weeks, and got a lovely pair of stretch marks on my butt that form a perfect X at 39 weeks - right before I had DS.
-
I got 3 at 11 weeks! And I don't think you are ever safe. I got a few more after 20 weeks and tons of new ones after 34 weeks. Ma poor belly looks zebra striped. You know, if zebras had red stripes...
-
Not until 35 weeks. And they came on quick and strong
-
I only have stretch marks on my butt, haha. Got them around 36 weeks. Coincidentally, that was the only place I wasn't using the Palmer's lotion!
-
Mine started at 37 weeks. I thought I might be safe, but no such luck.
-
Around 29 weeks I noticed the first one (and it was not subtle) and kept getting more up until the end. I couldn't even count how many I have,
-
Started at 20 weeks but the last of them (top of my belly) didn't show up till week 37!
-
@Pepper: good to know, I'm using Palmers everywhere except my butt. I'm ok with my butt, it's not that great to begin with lol
-
2 pregnancies, 15 months apart...not a single stretch mark. Thank you mom for good genes in that department!
-
@sarbear: I've heard it's all genetics but my mom had me at 32 weeks so I've got no clue what to expect.
-
@ladybee: yeah, I think it is more genetics. I was worried this time since they were so close. Fingers crossed for you!
-
@ladybee: My mom had lots of stretch marks on her belly, so I thought I was destined for the same. I know everyone is different, but I really credit the lotion for helping! I put it on every night when I got out of the shower.
-
I noticed them at the end of my pregnancy around 36 - 38 weeks. I have little ones around my belly button.
-
I had a few on my lower belly around 24 weeks. Now at 35 weeks they have spread and are almost at my belly buttton. I've been using Palmer's religiously since the start of my 2nd trimester but no luck.
Oh well. what can ya do.
-
@ladybee: At the very end, like 38 weeks.
-
I didn't get any till mid third trimester!
-
38.5 weeks. Just as I got my hopes up that maybe I was in the clear.
-
@ladybee: 32 weeks I noticed a tiny one on my belly that was thing and only a cm long, literally within two weeks the entire lower front part of my abdomen were covered. So from 32-36 weeks. From 36-39 weeks those stretch marks just got LO her but I didn't get more.
-
I didn't get any until past 40 weeks. I delivered at 40+9.
-
I got my first stretch marks at 12 weeks... Mine are all below my belly button and now at 35 weeks they don't seem so bad, I'm glad they are localized in one area
-
38 weeks on my lower belly.
-
I'm 34 weeks and haven't seen any yet. But I'm not considering myself safe after reading the replies in this thread >_<
-
I didn't get any with my first pregnancy and so far none with my second (22weeks). I thank my gene pool and religious use of coconut oil.
-
I didn't give birth until I was 42 weeks, and surprisingly didn't get a single stretch mark. I think it totally depends on the individual - genetics and elasticity of skin.
-
40 weeks. Sigh...thought I was safe!
