If you got them, when did you get them?

Just watching because I'm 34 weeks and don't have any yet, but I know there's still time

confusedat23 · 01/10/2017 23:52

Mine suddenly appeared around 30 weeks 🙂

WeeM · 01/10/2017 23:54

Mine suddenly appeared from nowhere about 27-30weeks.

MonkeyPoozzled76 · 01/10/2017 23:56

None yet and I'm 31 weeks. I've put on quite a lot of weight so far, mainly on hips and bum so watching with interest.

ChocolatePancake · 02/10/2017 00:46

Near the end of pregnancy but most of them I didn't notice until I actually lost weight and I realised I was like a tiger! That said, they do look less angry now and I don't notice them

MrsLilymunster · 02/10/2017 03:28

After I have birth i got loads over my belly , breasts and thighs :(

Rhynswynd · 02/10/2017 03:32

My DS us almost 19 and I think I got stretchmarks around week 30 onwards. I had them all over. Most prominent were on my belly.
I am on my 3rd pregnancy since then and they haven't gotten any worse. In between pregnancies they fade drastically.

QueenJane · 02/10/2017 03:41

I was feeling pretty smug by 40 weeks when I only noticed a few on my sides and underneath my bump. Even then, they only appeared after about 36/37 weeks.

Little did I know that there were more, but they only appeared after DS was born. Think stripy deflated airbag Envy

After 6 months they are fading and I really don't bother with them now.

Hannabee123 · 02/10/2017 06:19

27 weeks and getting worse Confused

Pregosaurus · 02/10/2017 06:38

36 weeks the first time round. No new ones second time around. I was soooooo smug thinking they weren't going to happen and then...

mummabubs · 02/10/2017 07:16

About 30 or 32 weeks onwards- just late enough for me to think I was safe from them! 🙈 I've got LOADS now at 39+2 but I got stretch marks in my teenage years on my hips so I know they'll fade into silvery scars eventually, won't mind them as much then!

wingerkite · 02/10/2017 07:16

Right near the end of my 1st pregnancy then got loads more in my 2nd pregnancy from around 30 weeks! He was a bigger baby.

I like mine! I don't like my actual post-baby tummy flab but I like the stretch marks for some reason.

fluffywallow · 02/10/2017 07:28

I hardly had any first time round then in my second pregnancy at about 32 weeks BAM - loads!! I really thought as I'd stretched my skin once before that I'd be safe this time but no. My deflated stretch marks now look worse than my healing c section scar!!

Expectingbsbunumber2 · 02/10/2017 07:49

I got them with my first havnt got too much more with this one but I have still have 12 weeks to go 🙈

silkpyjamasallday · 02/10/2017 09:12

At about 30 weeks, but not on my stomach which I had been religiously oiling every morning and night. Forgot to do bum and boobs though. I remember waking up one morning to the horrible red marks all over my boobs, standing in front of the full length mirror examining them feeling very upset, when DP piped up that they were all over my arse and thighs too. DD is a year old now and they are gone except for some slightly darker than skin tone ones on my bum which were the biggest and darkest to begin with. I'd had them on my bum before from puberty, and they faded to white but the ones on my boobs are now totally invisible as if they weren't ever there.

GlitterSparkles17 · 02/10/2017 09:58

1st pregnancy got them at around 38 weeks
2nd pregnancy around 35 weeks
They had all disappeared and werent really noticeable but with my current pregnancy I’ve just noticed that the old ones are extending slightly but this has only started in the past couple of weeks and I’m sure they will disappear just as quick as the old ones did, I don’t actually mind stretch marks because they eventually disappear it’s the flabby belly Im going to be left with that I can’t stand

squadronleader87 · 02/10/2017 11:07

I'm the same as silkpyjamas. I'm 32wks and have been using bio-oil and cocoa butter twice a day on my stomach. No marks there at all but I've just spotted three on my hips, where I've not been treating.

I've only noticed them in the past couple of days and it's the same place that I had stretch-marks as a teenager. My old ones have long since faded so hoping the same thing happens again. In the meantime, I'm extending my regime to those areas!

SunsetSunrise · 02/10/2017 11:13

I have them since dc1. I can't remember from when. They have stayed with me and I gain a few more with each pregnancy. I was upset at first but now they remind me of being pregnant with each of my children so the upset wore off eventually Smile

Mrsknackered · 02/10/2017 11:14

Think it was around 34 weeks. They riddled my stomach, I didn't get any more in the second pregnancy though and they are now pretty much just little silver lines.

lovelyjubilly · 02/10/2017 11:15

I got mine at 37 weeks.

princesssparkle9985 · 02/10/2017 22:20

Loads appeared overnight at 38 weeks then they just kept coming. I’m banking on them fading as everyone says they do over time. I was surprised to discover some really bad ones kind of under my bump on my bikini line area.

wheresmyphone · 02/10/2017 23:22

Talked to two GP's...both were clear it's genetics....they appear because of what is happening inside not outside, little or no difference with using fancy creams.

meltingmarshmallows · 03/10/2017 00:38

Maybe 25w? I have a heart shaped patch on my belly of angry red ones

oldlaundbooth · 03/10/2017 01:37

Didn't get any with both pregnancies.
