Stretch marks

[LemonMuffin837]

Hi ladies, just wondered at what point in your pregnancy did your stretch marks come in?
We're your bumps big? Did you get them anywhere else apart from your stomach?
My hips and legs look like they've been torn to shreds I'm currently 35 weeks.

I don't want anyone commenting saying "I never got them" I'm not interested as it will make me jealous

I had mine quite early on, patches on my stomach and legs but very deep ones "under bump"
I'm currently 33 weeks

I had a huge bump and have quite a few stretch marks, the majority of them came towards the end of pregnancy as DD was 10 days later and I was massive. They are mainly on my side and front of stomach...one really annoying one goes up beyond my belly button by a couple of inches...I hate that one!

My dad is morbidly obese and hasn't got a single stretch mark, my mum said she put on 5 stone with each pregnancy and also never had stretch marks and she's only 4ft11 so thought I'd have quite good skin and didn't bother using any creams. I was so wrong! Every day I look they get a little worse

Not on my stomach but on my outer thigh, hips, and boobs. Only noticed them after birth 😕

Under my bump. They only appeared at 38 weeks the bastards 🙀 I am creaming then like life depends on it now!!!

My mum oiled her bump a lot and got them on her breasts. To be fair, she was totally flat before her pregnancies.

I had them from 30 weeks. DS is 10 months now and they've faded to silvery lines which is probably as good as they're going to get sadly. I just through all my bikinis out because that's never going to happen again.

I had my DS at 35 weeks and I had terrible bum stretch marks, and some on my hips but only 1 tiny tummy one. My theory is that if he'd have come any later I would have got a full stomach full.

I only noticed all these stretch marks after the birth so must have only just come in! The boob stretch marks followed after a few weeks.

I only had one small one either side of my bump that came in around 34 weeks. They aren’t that noticeable now though.

However, I put on weight during puberty and my early 20s so I have lots of old stretch marks from weight gain then on my back, hips and breasts.

I did use a lot of Bio oil throughtout pregnancy (2nd trimester onwards), so I’m not sure if that helped?
