The weirdest place you've found stretch marks....

I'm 37+5 and up until last week had been extremely lucky in avoiding the dreaded stretch mark.

Yesterday however, I didn't just find some on either side of my hips - but a big patch of them on my bloody CALF?! I just don't understand it - haven't really put weight on noticeably on my legs, but presume it must be pregnancy related.

Checking all over now - expecting them to turn up on my face next!

Has anyone else found them other than the standard belly area?

Also, do they go after time??

its pretty standard, hips, bums, calves, upper arms, chest, some people also get patchy marks on their skin and face etc during pregnancy, they do fade but dont disappear.

The front of my boobs are the worst, you can't actually see them (I know they are there!) but they do so show more when I've got a tan. Hate them, the rest I can live with (cover up) my boobs were my best asset now they they are ruined! :(

I have just one huge patch at 35 weeks - just above my knee on the inside of my thigh - that developed in the first trimester. They are starting to fade now!

I have silvery stretch marks over my kneecap (think this is due to many knee ops but they match my current pregnancy ones)

I got stretch marks on my ankles with DS but I did put on a lot of weight very quickly. This time round I'll be surprised if there's room for any more stretch marks. I don't mind them on my belly but won't be happy if I get them on my boobs.
