Stretch marks!

[Clo00]

Has anyone else had dark stretch marks appear by 18 weeks???

If they're looking a bit angry moisturise them frequently.

I was already covered in them, fat ones, thin ones in all directions. Mine are all still white (I'm very pale) as I'm not going to get as big as I was with our twins, got a singleton on board.

Nope didn’t get any, both me and a friend used bio oil during our pregnancies and it did a good job. However I suspect that genetics play a big role as well.

No

Yes I had them by 12 weeks. I was on medication to support the pregnancy but weight gain was a side effect (not sure how many I would have had without) . Loads on the tops of my thighs and bum. I don't think any creams get rid of them but being moisturised helps if they itch (mine didn't thankfully!)

I've had mine so long they look like they're starting to fade and I'm not even due until august so I expect I'll get some new ones soon!

All worth it, that's what I keep telling myself anyway 😂
