When did you get stretch marks?

It’s second pregnancy and I can’t remember last time when I got them but I definitely did

I’m 30 weeks now and none yet.

I'm 38 weeks with number 2. I would say my stretch marks have only returned in the last 3 weeks or so. No new ones, just the faded ones from last time getting darker.

ShirleyPhallus · 09/03/2020 10:17

I’m 38 weeks and have got 2 very fine, very faint ones now but nothing else. I thought I’d end up with loads but haven’t had them

I also haven’t had the linea negra and belly button hasn’t turned inside out either!

Lindor2828 · 09/03/2020 10:17

For me it was literally right at the end, probably 37 weeks +, then more after the birth when everything deflated Confused

29 weeks now almost, no new ones so far...

Chottie · 09/03/2020 10:18

It was literally the last few weeks. I thought I'd got away without them, but sadly no.......

LividLaughLovely · 09/03/2020 10:54

38+3.

No stretch marks, yet!

(Cocoa butter twice a day)

Also no line or poppy belly button, even though I was quite looking forward to the novelty!

38+3 and no stretch marks on my tummy. I think ive accidentally done an experiement on myself though, as ive got some very faint stretch marks on my bum and boobs (where I havent been using bio oil) but none on my tummy (where ive been applying copious amounts of bio oil twice a day).

I do have a poppy belly button and the line though.

SparkleUK · 09/03/2020 11:47

Moisturised every day with cocoa butter and thought I'd got away with it but ended up with some on the front of my stomach a few weeks from the end

Jesskir89 · 09/03/2020 12:04

38 plus 2 and not a stretch mark in sight fx

Eropsawlkasd23455 · 09/03/2020 12:05

I didn’t get any with either DS or DD

Eropsawlkasd23455 · 09/03/2020 12:06

( I also didn’t use any products) - I think you either get them or you don’t/

hazandduck · 09/03/2020 12:07

I got mine with my first pretty much on my due date! Had second baby 4 weeks ago and no new ones but like pp the previous ones got a little darker but have already gone. I found I didn’t gain nearly as much as I did with my first baby! Put my old jeans on today yay 😄

Good luck with your pregnancy!

amazedmummy · 09/03/2020 12:08

Around 28 weeks and they just kept coming. DS was a big boy though.

LuxLuxLux84 · 09/03/2020 12:10

I didn’t get them.

stormtrooperjulian · 09/03/2020 12:13

A few very faint ones appeared on the day I went into labour (39+4)

tempnamechange98765 · 09/03/2020 12:16

I did t get any in my first pregnancy, and in my second they appeared at about 35 weeks I think. Just under my belly button, vertical ones. I was gutted as I thought I'd escape with none again.

Runwayqueen · 09/03/2020 12:30

I didn't have any before labour but did after. I gave birth at exactly 39 weeks.

HarrietM87 · 09/03/2020 12:51

Didn’t have any on my due date and was delighted! Then the little rascal was 2 weeks overdue and in that 2 weeks I got loads!!! Nearly 2 years on and they’ve mostly faded.

vampirethriller · 09/03/2020 12:54

After my baby was born, in the first week

Mum2b2020 · 09/03/2020 13:54

I noticed them at 34 weeks. Felt like they appeared overnight.

bamboo0 · 09/03/2020 13:58

Never, 3DC

redwoodmazza · 09/03/2020 14:08

I didn't!

PlugUgly1980 · 09/03/2020 14:10

I didn't with either DD or DS...and I didn't use any creams, etc. Just the luck of the draw I guess.

4amWitchingHour · 09/03/2020 14:16

First pregnancy, they've just appeared at 20 weeks - I've perhaps foolishly not done any moisturising or anything and do have quite dry skin anyway - off to get some bio-oil today

irisheyesaresmiling7 · 09/03/2020 14:48

I have 5 boys (all within 7 years so was constantly getting bigger, smaller, bigger, smaller again) but never got any stretch marks.
To be honest I think it's just pure luck as I never moisturised or used any creams, etc..

CocoLoco87 · 09/03/2020 14:52

Mine appeared overnight with DC1 at 41 weeks Hmm

And with DC2 I think they were noticeable by 30 weeks or so. It was a lot earlier anyway.
