Those with stretch marks, when did they start showing up?

I was about 16 to 17week with my first.

Thank you all!!

Mine showed at the end of my pregnancy when I got real big but you might be lucky my sister never got one stretch mark she had 2 kids I swear I had black purple stretch marks I used bio oil you can barley tell now I have them unless you are really looking! I used coco butter and all nothing ever worked but bio oil

I got them on the underneath of my boobs around 19 weeks. But that's the only place so far. But I went from an a cup to a d sooooo... Guess that's expected.

The best way to avoid stretch marks is to stay hydrated. Hydrated skin has better elasticity so remember to drink lots of water! I've been trying for a gallon of water a day and I've been using burts bees mama butter twice a day. I don't have any yet.

They're hereditary. How much elasticity your skin has is a factor. So staying hydrated inside and out is important. Creams/oils help keep your skin moisturized for sure so don't skip that. Try not to scratch if your skin gets itchy.

also I recommend oil over lotion as well.

Last few weeks, and even some after birth. Don't sweat them though, they happen. Or if you're lucky they won't. but I boasted and bragged about how I didn't get any, then bam. Karma. No matter what I used during pregnancy, creams, lotions, etc. Still got them. But I used Palmer's brand skin oil after pregnancy and they faded a lot. still there, but not as awful.

I use palmers tummy butter. But I waited till I was 8 months to even get it. But my husband keeps telling me it's helping lighten and prevent them now. I recommend it! It's like $6 I think. Bio oil is amazing too but it's expensive lol

Did you use anything to prevent them? @Disneybaby

whaaaa I don't wanna get any 😭

I've always had stretch marks on my tummy, so I didn't notice when more showed up but my tummy started to look like this around 8 or 9 months. Plus it looks all red and blotchy near the bottom lol

I was 30 weeks when I noticed my first. I never got any on my stomach, they're in my hips, thighs and booty

6-7 months but I don't have them on my belly. It's all over my thighs and butt. 😒

6 months :/
