I somehow managed to get away with no stretch marks when pg with DD, well apart from one tiny one on my bum but it's all but disappeared now and I didn't find it till 2 weeks after she was born so it doesn't really count!

So this means I'll get none this time, right?

RIGHT?

Hmm

Can I ask at how many weeks people started to see stretch marks .....i am currently 30 weeks and haven't spotted any yet ......is this just wishful thinking or will they appear later ....???

None with either of mine. just a fat tummy I can't get rid of
I reckon it's sheer luck.

none with either. And not a moisturiser in sight!

3 pregnancys. Not a single stretch mark. Didn't do a thing to prevent them (apart from have a fairly small bump and smallish babies).

None with first child, religiously applied SBC collagen gel and bio oil.
No time (or didn't make time) for that during second pregnancy and ended up with stretch marks, not lots and not bad.

I was a bit down about it at first but hey am not the type to wear midriff baring tops or bikinis anyway. (and would gladly have the on my face in exchange for my lovely babies)

I have 3 DC and didn't get stretch marks with any of them. I didn't use any oils or creams either.

Can I just say I hate you all.. All the bio oil /cocoa butter in the world didn't help me. Grin

Dc1 no stretch marks anywhere. Dc2 I got one, at 39w4 days. She was born 39w6 days. I was so pissed.

Had dd when I was 35 and ds when I was 38. Put on 3 stone on my size 6 frame. Not a pretty sight.

No stretch marks (no creams either) and lost pretty much all my weight gain. I think it is just genetics.

TalHotBrunette My twin sister hates me complaining about whether or not I'll get stretch marks as she got loads during pregnancy! Blush
