When did you notice your first tummy stretch mark?

@sandee_gianna805, you're lucky you got them more towards the end too! I'm so scared to see how many more I'll get, I'm only 28 weeks :(

@octobermama96, no they are faint and I already have so many scars that these seemed like nothing

@jaydensmommy808, omg no mama :( I can imagine . I don't want to feel that way after I deliver . It's going to be so hard for me, because I can be pretty hard on myself , but I'm really trying not to let it get to me. I'm sure your man adores you and loves your body for housing his beautiful child . Sometimes we are our own worst critics . Sending you hugs!! And I hope you start to feel better about it

@stormygirl, @leonelsmom. You girls are so lucky you got them towards the end

@jasholbert, You're completely right , they will be a constant reminder that you once housed such a precious little thing. I like to try and look at it that way too.

just right now lol right when i had to pee i decided to look down on my tummy and i saw a stretch mark😰 when im 37 weeks lol

last 38 weeks.. but way more after i gave birth and my belly went down. 😰😮👶

2 weeks ago at 36 weeks 😢 at first it was just a few really small ones and now there covered all below my belly button 😖 no one ever told me how bad they sting too.

well im one of those unlucky ones. my stomach is jacked up from stretch marks 😖 im very insecure of my body to the point where i will not let my bf see my stomach anymore or my boobs. im hella enbarrassed. and to be honest its putting me in a depressed and horrible feeling about myself. it sucks

Once I realized there was nothing I could to make them go away. I mean I get sad to see a new one because I already see my body as something just so horrible and ugly and damaged but eventually it's like okay whatever. I'm growing the greatest thing to ever happen to me, I'm this beautiful baby's home for 10 months and so I'm kind of looking at it as a gift from her to me. Something that will constantly remind me of the fact that I once housed a little girl. Our bodies aren't meant to be blank canvases.

@jasholbert, when did you get over it? Lol I am actually so sad about it

It would be awesome if we can't prevent them. Some girls are lucky and don't have any

I got like 3 on each side of my belly button around maybe 14 weeks or so from scratching likely and as I've grown bigger they have too so now t looks like more than 3 but still not a lot and they've moved below my belly to where I can't see them. 😂 I recently noticed a new one above my piercing scar and was very sad.

my midwife said nothing actually can prevent them. and my friend did everything to prevent them and she has so many stretch marks. it is just a roll of the dice. 😖

I have two but they're from my hip piercings. So they're just actual scares that went up my belly. I have them bad on my sides tho.

@gordis13, @ramenmami I guess you really just can't prevent them huh? And I'm glad I'm not the only who feels/felt a little bad about them. "Worth it, but it ain't cute" EXACTLYY .

I'm for sure nervous that a ton will pop up in the next 7 weeks. I do think I will 100% be insecure about it if I get anymore. I don't think it is vain. it is our body stretching out. ain't pretty. worth it but isn't cute at all.

Tbh I did but I got over it hopefully i don't get any more /:

@geekymomma13, @gordis13 @ramenmami , did you guys feel like crying when you discovered them? Because I do :( and I don't want to sound so damn vain , but I do feel really bad about it .

I noticed mine at 23 weeks I have 2 stretch marks on top of my belly button

well I noticed some on my boobs at 24 weeks.

3 hours ago loll 33 weeks and I found two on my hip/stomach. also I have a ton under my boob and I didn't realize it until I was standing in a mirror looking at big they got and I lifted them and holy stretch marks.
