When did you get them by? I'm trying to tell myself if I haven't got them by now maybe I never will (self-delusion!)

Right at the end. Eleven years on, they are still there, still flaming red and look as if I have been clawed by a tiger. They go from just under my tits to below my pubes. Little silvery lines that fade, my arse.

Went 40 + 7 last time and got none

Am currently 40 + 10 and have got none.

I didn't get them with dc1. With dc2 I went a week overdue and they appeared, I was obviously stretched to the limit!

Boob stretch marks? mine appeared when my milk came in and M&S didn't do a maternity bra big enough. Now they're saggy, stretch marked and totally different sizes!

Mine appeared after the birth as well. They must have been well hidden.

None with DC1 but they appeared about 39-40 weeks with DC2, but only on the underside so can't be seen when in underpants or swimsuit. Who knows this time around as only 13 weeks with DC3. Everyone is different.

I had just read this thread thinking how pleased I was that my stretchmarks hadnt appeared on my tummy just yet (Im 28weeks) then went to get changed upstairs and low and behold, noticed some pretty angry looking stretchmarks on the underside of my tummy that I swear were not there last night! Argh! All that Bio Oil for nothing!

I got them at about 20 weeks with DD, I'm quite short so th baby could only really go out so mine are really extreme. I look like a road map, although I only ever go them on my stomach. Some of them are really wide though where the skin was stretched so much. With my DS I didn't really noticeably get anymore as I was covered already although they did get angry in colour, went a purple/blue. They hav gone down but the wide ones are still hideous, I'd nenvr rhos anyone and am even conscious of hem in front of my DH.

Currently expecting DC3 so goodness knows what will happen this I've or ith fourth! I tired everything bio oil, aloe Vera nothing worked.
