Do these look like beginning of stretch marks?

[heybabes]

I’ve noticed these red marks on the side of my belly the last couple of days. They don’t feel indented but kind of look like stretch marks

I’m only 26 weeks and my bump isn’t even that big - I keep well moisturised and none of my family had stretch marks in pregnancy. My boobs have ballooned as well but nothing on them!

I can't see what you are talking about @heybabes but it's not really something that can be controlled at all unfortunately. It is what it is

Can’t see anything that looks like a stretch mark just capillary veins.

I can't see anything there op.

If you do get them they don't stay red for long in my experience.

They just look like veins to me, not stretch marks.

Unfortunately no amount of moisturizing can stop you get stretch marks, you'll either get them or you won't.

I would say veins too, my belly has looked like that since 12 weeks and still no stretch mark in sight at 37 weeks, just a very vein-y bump!
