I'm almost 25 weeks pregnant and I'm scared of getting stretch marks. If it's going to happen then…

Always lotion your belly and rub it when it tight instead of scratching that way you can prevent them from happening

I started getting mine at about 29 weeks

It's itchy*

I noticed mine first tiny one at 33 weeks on my lower belly. They have spread and gotten bigger, but all still in my lower belly, and they're white kind.

Honestly I bragged about how I didn't have any, and I literally got them the last few weeks of my pregnancy, like the last 5. I used lotions, creams, drank tons of water still got them. But after I had my daughter I started using Palmer's brand skin oil and it helped tons. To me oils are better than lotions.

Use cocoa butter every day and you will be fine. I use mine everyday and I haven't gotten any new stretch marks. I have my old ones from almost 9 years ago back when I was pregnant with my son but even those aren't terrible thanks to using cocoa butter every day

Oh, wow! Good to know. That's like me.. I don't have any yet but I'm also only 25 weeks. But my stomach is sooo much bigger than week 20! I'm a little nervous.

Oh and forgot to mention, I drink a ton of water, lube up. My skin never itches, they just showed up.

32 weeks mine started getting bad. Still have them and I'm almost 4 months postpartum

I didn't start getting them till I was like 32 weeks

33. i lost my products and got laazy. baby at this point has no room and is growing/dropping. i got a few on my lower belly 😔

Probably around 30. Now I'm 34 and every day they're worse

I never got them on my belly. just thighs and butt lol. still got them there 6 months pp but they look like they've faded a good bit.

I got some bad ones on my hips already, I got mad love handles when I got pregnant. I have claw marks on both my left & right upper hips. What's those too!
