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

6 months :/

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

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

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

whaaaa I don't wanna get any 😭

Did you use anything to prevent them? @Disneybaby

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

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.

also I recommend oil over lotion as well.

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.

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.

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.

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

Thank you all!!

I was about 16 to 17week with my first.
