A bet that stretch marks appear tonight...

[Runningblue]

35 weeks today with dc2, not a stretch mark in sight so far.
I would put money on a purple road network appearing overnight over my bump. It is so tight and stretched underneath, out of no where - why is that, does the baby drop about now - I really can't remember?!

I got mine the day I went overdue. It was only 1 but I was rather irritated!!

Mine didn't appear till after 'the event' last time, and this time is very similar!

I've slapped on some stretch mark cream (double quantities - make up for all those missed days )
Last time I think they all came nigh on due date- bloody unfair!

37 + 4..........no stretch marks yet .....I have been using Bio-oil religiously ....fingers crossed . Bump is dropping now though so not breathing out just yet !

I too am utterly (vainly) distraught at finding two stretch marks at 36 weeks into my second pregnancy. Thought I was immune :(

I didn't think I had any at all with dc1 but a few months after I noticed I had a few faint silvery lines really low down below my pubic hair. Ended up with stretch marks on under side of boobs after a night where my mum fed ds expressed milk so I could sleep through the night- woke with giant swollen boobs ! Doh

I remember saying to xh I didn't have any yet and they were all out of sight under my bump :(

Mine all appeared after I had DS, still none once I could see under my bump but a week later once I'd "deflated" they sprung up

They had all but disappeared before he was even 12 months though :)

Guess what - the beginnings of the red stretch marks have appeared today, DH had to do an under bump check for me! Hey ho, at 35 weeks, it's a bit sooner than last time - grrrrr...

Guess what? Stretch marks have appeared tonight! On my upper left thigh just below the hip bone.

I'm 34 weeks. I guess they'll be more to come ... sigh

Lucky us eh? I am relying on them fading like last time!

I was stretchmark free until 36 weeks. Then I spotted a tiny red mark one morning. The next day it was slightly longer, the next, longer.... 6 weeks later, I looked like a tiger loaf!
