When do stretch marks start to show up?
Can anyone who already had children tell me when to expect to see stretch marks? I know everyone is different but when did you mamas notice the stretch marks with your first or second babies?
I think a part of it depends when you "blow up". Over the last 2 weeks, I went from 0-100 with a baby bump and got them during that period already (20 weeks). I think for me, it's just because it happened so quickly, my skin didn't have time to know what was happening lol.
I noticed them on my butt first because I had no butt before! And those I got around 25 weeks I want to say. Belly ones started coming about the month before delivery and continued to get worse, like pp said it was probably from scratching! I got ones on my boobs when my milk came in! They all faded pretty nice and I'm hoping I don't have room for more stretch marks this time around but we shall see!
Just don't be scared the color of them! At first they're really dark but I promise they do fade after awhile. It's partly from hormones
My cousin didn't get any till the week before she delivered she had none beautiful skin and then bam horrible stretch marks my suggestion would be start lotioning up now to start moisturizing your skin and helping the elasticity coconut oil works really good too and drinking lots of water
Lol @ rampart, me too I was just thinking maybe I'll get lucky and this won't be so bad...now I'm worried again but it's all worth it I can't wait for the stretch marks because I'll be meeting my son so soon.
What is pups
