When did you get stretch marks???

[Writerwannabe83]

I'm 31 weeks tomorrow and people are always quick to ask me if I've got stretch marks yet...

Does everyone get them.....and when??

8 and a half months. Bastard.
And I used fucking Bio Oil - what a con.

Two babies (first aged 38 and second at 40) and no stretch marks at all. I did oil/moisturize each time and put on no more that 10kg plus my bumps weren't huge. Was also induced each time at just after 39 weeks so maybe I would have got some if I had gone past due date? Who knows.

Alas, my pelvic floor has never fully recovered though :(

Ah yes - pelvic floor buggered. Can still wear a bikini though useful when dashing to the loo

No stretch-marks and I was over 42 weeks when DS finally made an appearance. I also put on over 3st during that time.

My mother had 3 DCs and never got stretch-marks either.

I didn't get any. Nor a linea nigra. I didn't moisturise.

By 28 weeks I looked like I had been clawed by a wild animal from groin upwards. DD arrived at 33 weeks so they didn't thankfully get any worse. I think of them as my souvenirs of the time.

My Dsis has no stretch marks and also still has a flat stomach, she also has had 2 DC.

I clearly got all the dud genes

Had loads on my legs from puberty already but didn't get any during pregnancy. I did moisturise a lot though.

Never.

nope, neither did my mum. I think it'd genetic.

As my mum though, I too have veiny legs

I was expecting loads as got lots as a teenager. None arrived until I was a week over due then pop got loads. Don't really bother me that much tbh. Wasn't one for belly tops and can't remember the last time I had cause to wear a bikini.

No. Three pregnancies and not a single mark

i think it was at about 35 weeks, my midwife commented beforehand that i hadn't got any.

but i did. loads under belly down to pubes I'm afraid. you might not though!

Two pregnancies. First was a week overdue and no stretch marks. Currently 39+3, none this time, and being induced 39+6, so hoping to avoid them.

My mum got them. I used Mama Mio religiously and drank 2-3 litres of water a day throughout both pregnancies.

Fully expected to get them as have some on my hips from teenage growth spurt.

My mother had loads too so really thought they were unavoidable.

I went from 8 st 8 to 10 st 12 during my pregnancy but religiously drank 2 litres of water a day and used huge amounts of Palmers cocoa butter.

None....but I do think it's just random.

I didn't get any. Moisturised occasionally with ordinary body lotion. I did tear a bit.

40+2

I was gutted!

FoxtrotOscarBackToEconomy I got none the first time and a few the second time

9 pregnancies all born between 39 and 42 weeks no stretch marks .so definitely not inevitable . I never tore during any of the deliveries , so not sure what that says .
expecting dc 10 and no stretch marks so far.

I didn't.
Still can't believe it.

Bum, boobs, tummy, calves, ankles.... saggy skin, 1 noticeably bigger boob, my hair fell out at the hairline, bags under my eyes.........
And one super cute giggly little terror. It's a good job one of us is good looking!

No stretchmarks through 2 pregnancies.

Puberty, but not pregnancy

I don't know ... last few weeks ?, probably got worse every day (but you don't want to hear that?) ... and both of mine were late

Didn't get them. DD was 12 days early so maybe that helped - I had no idea they could appear so late.

I did tear tho'.
