When you were pregnant with your first child, when did you notice stretch marks appearing? I haven’t developed any yet…

I would say afterward

Not until after I delivered

None yet

Mine started to show on the under side of my belly at 30-31 weeks 🙄 I use oil and cocoa butter daily but unfortunately it’s hereditary. Still doesn’t hurt to stay moisturized though!

I didn't get any with my son and I haven't gotten any yet with my daughter and I'm due next week. I already had some on my hips prior to being pregnant though.

I’m 32 weeks and they just started to show up!

I didn’t get any until around week 37-38! I tried everything recommended to prevent them and it was inevitable! I thought I was in the clear. Lol it really depends on your skin!

@mrsscoggins, sorry 😒 well just have the cocoa butter ready

@tailsofmomme, I have no idea. I was taken away from my parents

I don’t remember exactly but I do know after I had her they were under my belly button where I couldn’t see while pregnant.

I never got any .... don’t d your mom get them

@crystalhealing, thank you!

@mrsscoggins, well it goes like this- if you’re mom had them bad and still does they don’t usually go away and tend to happen early on with weight gain.

If your mother hardly had them and still can barely see them then chances are they won’t come till much much later with weight gain.

Depends on when you start gaining the most weight and what’s typical in your family history with how noticeable or deep they are.

I wouldn’t worry about it though.

It’s very natural. It’s not like your husband will love you any less and really there isn’t much you can do about it besides try to smooth them out. Which you can always get a head start on whenever with skin hydrating lotions or oils.

@mrsscoggins, I think I got mine at Walmart

@kmsespy, I realize that, I’m just getting an estimate as to when to expect to see them if I do.

It’s hereditary my dear. Some do some don’t.

I didn’t get any with my first, I gained 50lbs. This time I so worried about getting them, I feel stupid. Stay hydrated and lotion up. Not a whole lot you can do.

I’ll be 35 weeks tomorrow so far I’ve gained 30 lbs. no stretch marks yet. This is my first baby

@crystalhealing, where do you get bio oil?

I was like 125lbs before I got pregnant. I gained over 60lbs and was huge. I used bio oil and cocoa butter on the reg and didn’t get a single mark. Both my sisters got them but not me. It’s partially hereditary

I think I was like 29 to 30 weeks when i first started geeting them with my first.

I think around 32ish weeks? I thought I had avoided them and then bam! There they were.

I gained like 55 lbs. And started seeing them in my 8th month
