Stretch marks - how did they start?

[TwinkleStars15]

Does anyone have any photos of the beginnings of stretch marks? I’m keeping a close eye out but not sure what I’m looking for! Second pregnancy and didn’t get them before but I’m much bigger this time round! Just curious that’s all.

My stretch marks literally appeared out of nowhere. Purple/red and angry looking... But they didn't creep up on me, they have been popping up with no warning 😶

Same here, mine just popped out of nowhere at about 35 weeks! Thought I'd got away with it and then BOOM!!

A year later and they've faded a lot though

Tiny tiny red marks then week 38 BOOM. Everywhere

I’m 24 weeks and have small stretch marks. Like the others, I looked down one day and they were just there! No pre-warning signs. I’ve been using bio oil and they haven’t got any worse as of yet (mine appeared at week 18).

I’m pregnant with my first and am also worried about stretch-marks. I did a lot of research on how to prevent them. Often the advice is to drink lots of water, eat lots of nutritious foods like fruit and vegetables and apply moisturiser daily.

The best reviewed one I could find was the brand ‘Science of Skin’. I ordered the stretch mark defence and stretch mark solution cream. You apply the defence everyday and start using the solution to treat them if they pop up. It did cost me £52, but thought I’d get myself a pregnancy treat! There are cheaper creams/moisturisers on the market too that are more affordable! Hope that’s helpful.
