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.

In the last couple of weeks for me.

TippledPink · 09/03/2020 14:55

After my second was born.

LBB2020 · 09/03/2020 18:40

About a week after my DC was born! I thought I’d be gutted if I got any, I was inspecting my bump and moisturising it constantly during my pregnancy but I couldn’t have cared less when they appeared!

laughingnow · 09/03/2020 18:46

I didn’t get any either time and I didn’t use any products. Don’t have cellulite either but I do burn very readily.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 09/03/2020 18:53

Luckily I didn’t. Someone told me to rub baby oil gel into my tummy and I wouldn’t get any and I didn’t Smile

I had none anywhere during pregnancy but then my boobs grew dramatically after given birth and now they are covered in stretch marks! Doh!

Roomba · 09/03/2020 19:08

I got one small stretchmark that appeared magically the day before DS2 was born! Pure luck or genetics as I didn't do much beyond rub moisturiser in a few times over two entire pregnancies.

WellTidy · 09/03/2020 19:10

Between 40 and 41 weeks. Gutted!

DramaAlpaca · 09/03/2020 19:14

I've had three children and managed not to get any stretchmarks at all.

Lau3408 · 09/03/2020 19:28

I went for my 12 week dating scan, baby was too small to measure but the sonographer tried her best to get a good measure and scan photo for us. I came away with a couple of stretch marks, they appeared the next day! Gutted! I'm 15+2 and haven't got any more thankfully Smile

misskatamari · 09/03/2020 19:33

I got mine about a day before I gave birth! Thought I'd dodged them, then BAM! 🤣

sarahc336 · 09/03/2020 19:58

Right at e end, probably around 34 weeks when my bump started to drop. I remember being all "ooh look ive not got any stretch marks" and then literally over night loads appeared. They fade in time though if you do get them Smile xx

Wynston · 09/03/2020 20:03

I used bio oil on both pregnancies and have no strech marks on my stomach.
Have them on my bum from weight gain after dc.
Also have scaring on my stomach due to c section-i would use bio oil on the scar but i hate touching it.

BlusteryShowers · 09/03/2020 20:05

I moisturised religiously and got plenty first time round

This time, i've got a couple more on my stomach.

They've mostly faded tbh.

tallah · 09/03/2020 20:30

I didn't get any, weirdly. Am not showing off because I'm still a proper fatty and got an arse the size of a house but for some reason didn't get stretch marks

MamaMama20 · 09/03/2020 20:40

Didn't notice a single stretch mark until about 3 weeks past birth.. not too noticeable but there

museumum · 09/03/2020 20:44

Last week or so when my bump “dropped” Sad

notacooldad · 09/03/2020 20:46

I didnt get any.

alwaystiredzz · 10/03/2020 06:21

A week after I'd had the baby annoyingly...Hmm

wrinkledimplelover · 10/03/2020 07:24

Had none at all until 38 weeks. Was shocked as I had lots on my thighs from puberty. I was smug about my religious moisturising. And then baby stayed in until 41+1 an in those last 3 weeks my belly felt like it was splitting open..and all hell broke loose with the stretch marks.

Seventyone72seventy3 · 10/03/2020 07:26

I didn't even with twins which surprised me as I got some on my legs when I was a teenager and grew fast.

Bringringbring12 · 10/03/2020 07:28

Two pregnancies and not one
Neither did my mother or sister

TamingToddler · 10/03/2020 07:34

Another who got them after I gave birth!

maa1992 · 10/03/2020 07:35

30 weeks

20viona · 10/03/2020 07:36

I didn't get any. I do have them on my thighs from when I was a teenager so I am prone to get them but didn't get any on my tummy or anything. I did only put 1 stone on though.
