Stretch marks - did you get them and at what point did they appear?

[MayimBialik]

Am 26+4. So far, so good on the stretchmark front BUT I'm pretty sure I will get them. I have them on my thighs from puberty, they've faded a lot now but I remember them being awful when they first appeared.

I guess only a few a lucky enough to avoid them - are you one of them?
If you did get them, when did they appear?

Oh my goodness, they can come after birth??! I had no idea.

None so far at 34 weeks, but no doubt they'll be along shortly. Very bad about using any kind of oil or lotion, always forget, so choosing to believe those who say it doesn't make a difference

i got them everywhere with ds! hit 30 weeks and that was it, legs, thighs, stomach, back.... :( rubbed palmers cocoa butter in from early on but made no difference in the end

None with dc1, 23 weeks w dc2 and none so far. Bloody miracle/luck/genes - not used cream. Plenty of time left for them all to pop out .

I'm currently 36 + 6 with none on my bump - but a good few on my boobs!

I also had some bad ones on thighs (and boobs again) as a teenager so was mildly dreading them, but my DM didn't get any so hopefully I won't either - looking good so far but still have to wait and see...

Appeared under bump after about 38 weeks with DC1. A few above belly button with DC2. Seem to be developing a few more above belly button this time with DC3 - currently 28 weeks.

Between 1 and 2 they had faded a lot and I wasn't bothered by them. Between 2 and 3 they hadn't faded but I'm totally passed caring now anyway!

Two babies, no stretch marks except for a few tiny ones on my hips.

I used Biotherm stretch mark cream & almond oil at bed time.

I have loads on legs and boobs from being a teenager. Currently cooking dc4 and have a v small one where I had my belly button pierced but that is it so far. I am really hoping to escape this time too but I am sure I can't be that lucky!

Not a single one. Had DD at 38+6 and bump was smallish and very even.

First pregnancy none, didbt use any creams either but guess I was just lucky.. Currently TTC no 2 and dreading it :-/

At 30 weeks they came out of nowhere and my stomach looked like I had flames tattooed on I had none before this point.

36 weeks plus with dd. this time around I think maybe no new ones but the pregnancy will make the old ones show again. Plenty of body lotion but oust pregnancy I found the most effective thing was sit ups, firming moisturiser (the garner green bottles) and the off sun bed (so shoot me seemed to help quite a bit

Both times at 37 weeks (had DD a couple of days later and DS at 38 weeks - sob!)
They're under the bump only and were whitish from the start. Hopefully no room for any more with DC3!
