    I had none the whole way through my pregnancy so I thought I was gonna be stretchie free - but got a couple at 40wks!
    DD was born at 41wks. I think I got slack towards the end with moisturising - this time I will moisturise MORE towards the end!

    I don't have any yet (touch wood) but I also think it is significant that I don't have an 'outtie' belly button. In fact there is still plenty of room to move before I would get one.

    I use Palmers Cocoa Formula hopeing it will help and if it doesn't it is just nice to have DP rub it all over my belly each night (its his favourite choir too). I've heard lots of people say from about 30 weeks onwards it when it all starts to happen...... with the last 2 weeks or so the worst.

    I got plenty of Stretch marks already from Puberty so although I hope it doesn't happen to me I still think it will.
