Mine were non existent and then I saw a mirror from a different angle and I was like what the ?. I've heard some people just don't get them so you might be lucky ?? mine faded though from my first so I'm not that stressed about it

I didn't get stretch marks with my first daughter until the end around 36 weeks & no new ones yet! *knock on wood* I'm 24 weeks on Monday.

Last pregnancy (my 1st) I didn't get them till week 36! Was clear till then.

This is my 4th pregnancy and I've never had any. Thank God

With my first, I didn't have any until around 36 wks...then they really started to show up! I didn't get ad many as expected though...and they faded pretty quickly.

I'm 38 weeks with my first and so far have only gotten like three small marks under my right breast but no other stretch marks. Crossing my fingers it stays that way...

39 weeks. Funny how worried I was until I got them. Now I don't care at all, it's just my body now

With my first I was so excited that I wasn't getting any, since both my mom and sister did. 38 weeks and I got my first one ?. Hoping I don't get extra stretch marks this pregnancy!

I'm 23 weeks and up until two weeks ago I didn't gain any weight at all. However, at about 16 weeks I woke up just covered in them. Unfortunately the stretch mark cream didn't seem to help prevent them. I still use the cream but they're just getting worse now that I'm gaining weight. :(

So far I only have them on my big boob lol. There may be some hiding, I feel like there's a whole lot of me that I can't see anymore.

My first i inly got mild side stretch marks they some what faded .. But i didnt get them untill about 30 plus weeks ..

I think I see the tiniest start of a few on my sides. This is my first baby as well. 24weeks yesterday. I've been oiling and lotioning like twice a day. I don't mind if they're on my sides, under my ribs, but I don't want them in the front. Everything is just so tight that I don't think I'm going to be able to avoid it.

A few showed up around 32 weeks my first pregnancy. Most of mine came after birth from losing it all quickly.

This time, I already have 1 new one (it's red instead of the white all my old ones are)

Mine happened about 4-5 days after bubs was born, i started feeling soreness on my upper thighs like i'd donena million squats and saw a few stretchmarks there and on my lower belly. They disappeared about 4 months pp apart from maybe 2 stretchmarksnon thighs and my breast stretchmarks havenremained although they did fade quite a bit.

With my 1st pregnancy i vomited nearly everyday so i tried to massage evco every few days on those stretchmark prone areas.

This pregancy i have been everyday rubbing oils on my stretchmark prone areas and so far nothing has popped up

I didn't get any for my pregnancies . I'm on baby #5 and still haven't . after I had my daughter(4th child) 3months later I started get few because of weight I gained but none pregnancy related.

I didn't get them till 8 months with my first and they r horrible?

This is my 4th boy, bless my mother I don't have any on my stomach. I have a few on each hip but very small and not really noticeable. Maybe you are blessed with elastic skin too.

I used to be extremely obese and I lost almost 200lbs (from 350 to 160...) and I have stretch marks from losing the weight although there not super deep stretch marks and not super noticeable. But I do have excess skin on my stomach thighs and arms . I haven't gotten any new stretch marks in either one of my pregnancies thus far. I only gained 8lbs with my first set of twins but only made it to 27wks with them so I didn't show with them. I then got back down to 160 after having them and gained up to 185lbs over the time after I had them before getting pregnant again. And now I'm up to 192lbs. Which is depressing and I'm 26wks. I hope I don't gain much more weight and can get back down to 160lbs at least (I was in a size 6 before having them... and would love to get back in that size 6!!) As of right now if I put on normal clothes im in a size 12/14 but I feel suffocated. And I can still put on some of my large clothes but it's definitely not how they fit before.... guess we will see what happens. I have heard that if you scratch your stomach that's what causes the stretch marks so it's a good idea to keep yourself nice and lotioned up and not to scratch your stomach as it stretches that can help decrease any stretch marks you could get...

I did not get stretch marks with my 1st until 37 weeks. They appeared overnight. With my 2nd I didn't get anymore, but with me having twins this time I'm getting a lot more.

Mine didn't show up until after I gave birth. It's common for that to happen.

Do you guys find that they fade a lot afterwards? Or do you think they're still really noticeable?

With my 1st I didn't get any until like 38 weeks n they came out of no where. Then my 3rd lil fat baby give me even more on my side and the top of my tummy.

SistaBigBones, you must have great skin!

As big I have gotten in my pregnancies, I don't have one single stretch mark...

I use Bella B Tummy Honey or Palmer's cocoa butter but I forget all the time. I need to try the bio oil though, I know it can't hurt!

But either way, I've strangely always been a huge fan of fit moms who show off their "tiger stripes". There's something really beautiful about it to me. And I'd take some stretch marks if it means I get a precious baby boy in the bargain anyway.

I'm on my third baby and my seventh pregnancy and so far I have lucked out and don't have any but I'm still scared. I get so to check me almost every day.

I didn't get any with my first. I was very surprised as I'm 5"3 so my belly stuck out pretty far. It's genetic but using the lotions does help I used bio oil with my first. I've been terrible with using it with this pregnancy. We've had such a dry winter in Vancouver I really need to be more diligent with cream/oil.

With my first child they didn't show up until after 32 weeks. My second child I only added a few more and now I'm just waiting to see what happens with this one. My mom and dad's side of the family get stretch marks bad so I expected it.

I have few old ones on my outer tights which became little more visible now. So far nothing on stomach at 26 weeks. But I think I am starting to see them popping on my boobs.

Mine showed up the week I was overdue with my 1st!! I was so mad I had made it that long! ?

I didn't get any until my last 2-3 weeks with my first. I thought I was home free lol they showed up really clearly after the birth.

With my first I didn't notice any until after I had him and my stomach went down. Then I had a few on the front of my stomach.

I only got two on each of my sides during my first pregnancy. I believe I got them during the last few weeks.

I don't have any stretch marks on my stomach but my breasts are covered in them... Except it's not lines like I would have expected. My breast have stretch "spots" all over them.. I look like a leopard ?

I didn't get any until my first baby dropped. This is baby number 4 and I haven't really gotten many more. My mom has terrible stretch marks, so it's not always dependent upon what your mom's skin was like.

I have friends that literally just started getting them at 38 weeks. I haven't gotten any either but I'm sure I will cause I was barley even 100 pounds when I got pregnant.

I have aunts and cousins that didn't get any and some that had a few. My dad's mom had 13 kids and only had a few. I guess we will see! I do have some light ones on my inner thighs from puberty so I'm kind of counting on it.

I got mine in labor

My mom did get some, but she also went from 105 lbs to 165. I was her only full term pregnancy. I'm hoping slow, steady weight gain will help me out.

It's a good rule of thumb that if your mom got them you will. It's genetic. I only ever got small ones on my boobs and under my butt cheeks. No idea when they appeared. But I'm on baby #3 and still have never got them on my belly. My friend got hers randomly at 32 weeks. It's another one of those, everyone is different things.

Sometimes they don't appear until your belly shrinks back after birth. Mine usually are pretty light/ clear and get more clear and more abundant when my belly shrinks back after birth.

Mine literally showed up overnight at 26+3
