Survey: Stretchmarks - when did you get them and where?

In your first pregnancy - if you did get them, that is:

  1. When did they first appear?
  2. Where are they?
  3. Also, for those who are on number 2+, did you get new ones in subsequent pregnancies?

I'm 31+4 and they haven't started yet. Would love to think that I won't get them but the beauties on my hips (from adolescent growth spurt) suggest otherwise. Unless I developed hips faster than my bump is growing!

Confused

Didn't get any - son born at 36+5.

Didn't need any new ones as still sporting silvery streaks from teenage years.

None in my 3 pgs

Lovely varicose vein though!

I have lots of stretch marks from puberty, on my thighs, boob and hips (very very faint).

When I was pg with DD DH kept telling me how lucky I was to not have stretch marks on my bump. I knew that I was bound to get them because I have that kind of skin.

Got them at 38 weeks underneath my belly button!

I'm 14+2 ATM and I don't have any from this pregnancy, as yet and I really hope that my skin has already stretched enough for this DC so that I don't get any more! Grin

  1. When did they first appear? I only got some in the last 4 or 3 weeks of pregnancy.
  2. Where are they? Bottom of stomach and a couple at the top of my thighs
