Second pregnancy and was pretty smug with DS1 when showing off my unstrechmarked bump now preggo with DS2 and seeing slight stretch marks appearing, OH thinks I'm off my rocker and can't see a thing... I how ever know god is punishing me for being a smug moo first time around...

Anyhooo... How far along we're you when you got, if any, stretch marks?

36 weeks in my first pregnancy, the day after my 30th birthday.

MrsBri · 20/06/2013 05:31

Just after 38 weeks. Gutted!

Wishfulmakeupping · 20/06/2013 05:36

About 36 weeks thought I'd got away without getting marks :(

cravingcake · 20/06/2013 05:53

Around 36 weeks, and the little buggers appeared overnight

PhieEl06 · 20/06/2013 06:02

& I thought at 35+5 I was getting away stretch mark free...

elvislives2012 · 20/06/2013 06:05

About 36 weeks too! DD is 8mo now and you can't really see them anymore

SprinkleLiberally · 20/06/2013 06:15

40 weeks plus, and a few morw after!

Runswithsquirrels · 20/06/2013 06:32

37 weeks :(

Gerty1002 · 20/06/2013 07:25

Two days ago, I got one solitary stretch mark right at the front! Only 29+6 so suspect there's more to come Sad

LaChaiseVerte · 20/06/2013 07:28

40 weeks!

Dorris83 · 20/06/2013 09:43

Yep once I had given birth Sad
DH and I had smugly talked about how I had managed to avoid them, then there they were, on the sides of my waist.

HadALittleFaithBaby · 20/06/2013 09:45

Plenty on my thighs but none on my bump, had DD at 38+5, first baby.

Lj8893 · 20/06/2013 10:34

I'm starting to get them already :( and I'm only 21 weeks!!! However I suspect they were always there as I've always been a larger girl and they are just more obvious now my bump is appearing. I'm using bio-oil like mad!

I've most recently noticed them on my boobs which is horrible, but I'm not surprised as they have grown loads!! Thankfully when I have a bra on, they can't be seen but once my bra comes off and my boobs are, umm, stretched out a bit the stretch marks show!

Mums!!! think of them as the road map of your life, your pregnancies, the way you've grown your precious babies and try not to worry about them.
