When did you get stretchmarks?

**Maruschke** · February 19th, 2009, 01:16 PM

I don't have any stretchmarks yet

. Just wondering, if I was going to get them, when would they start to appear? Mum reckons that if I don't have them yet, that I won't get them. Is this true??? I still have 11 weeks of stretching ahead of me LOL.

So... when did your stretch marks first start to appear?

I hope your mum is right for you!
Mine started at 35 weeks last time.

I only got one last time, on the underside of my belly and I didn't see it till I had deflated again... so I don't know when it got there!

I started getting stretchies from about 34 weeks with DS#1, I thought I'd gotten off, but nope, they came!

**sneakysparkle** · February 19th, 2009, 01:36 PM

with DD1 I didn't get any till 40wks (she was born at 41wks!)

with DD2 I think they came at about 35/6 weeks

none for me but my girlfirend got hers at 38 weeks!!

At 28 weeks I thought I was doing really well too! PMSL, then I just popped majorly in the last fwe weeks and they were EVERYWHERE. I hope you escape them!!! But if you don't just think of them as your "map of motherhood", well, it makes me feel better about them anyway. That, and the fact that they do fade eventually. Mine are fading nicely, so theres still hope even if you do get them

Ok Sounds like Mum is wrong LOL. Stay away 'Map of Motherhood'

**Indadhanu** · February 19th, 2009, 01:49 PM

Hahahaha if only LOL just keep moisturised, cos if you get them and your skin is dry the itching is friggen murder!

**{sarah}** · February 19th, 2009, 01:52 PM

I got none in my first pregnancy & thought it was wonderful. I got to around 34 weeks into my second & now have heaps!

**rufalina** · February 19th, 2009, 02:25 PM

I got mine quite late too round the 35-36 week mark.... Hope you manage to avoid them all together...

**Kazmar** · February 19th, 2009, 02:28 PM

I made a BIG mistake and braged to mum about not having any, then the last two weeks of my pregnancy I got them!
Its ok hun just think of it as "You earnt those strips and you wear them proud"

You may be a lucky one and get none!

**Pandora** · February 19th, 2009, 02:29 PM

A lot depends on your skin and genetics.
My gf got none in either pg, and the second was twins.
She also went back to her pre- baby weight within 6 weeks both times..I wish!!

**Kazmar** · February 19th, 2009, 02:32 PM

I HATE it when people say "You got them because you're so small" It has NOTHING to do with how skinny or fat you are

Its all to do with the elasticity (SP) of your skin

**Heaven** · February 19th, 2009, 03:07 PM

I still don't have any

I have been using bio-oil every day twice a day so that's helping to keep me moisturised. But it's prob genetic. My mum and nan never got any either.

**~Kim~** · February 19th, 2009, 04:00 PM

With Darcy I got none.
With this one - this week.

Hope you get none babe.

**AliBaby** · February 19th, 2009, 04:10 PM
