When did you get your first stretch marks?

[Laranna]

I got a few tiny ones under my boobs this week (I'm 31 weeks). None elsewhere yet. I feel like I'm going through a growth spurt atm. I've always rubbed cream on my skin but I don't think it will stop me getting stretch marks if I am going to get them, but as others have said, it's nice to have cream massaged into my belly when it's feeling tight and about to explode

Thanks everyone for the great responses. I think I can take away from this that its NEVER too late in a pg to get stretch marks

I'm using Bio-Oil irregularly (just cos my skin's been feeling a little dry and itchy) but I do agree its the luck of the draw wrt stretch marks. My Mum only got a couple of small ones but my sis got them really badly - from her boobs right down to her thighs. I know hers started at about 25 wks so hopefully I won't get them as badly as she did.

My belly feels hard and firm but I still have my "inny" belly button and my skin feels like it still has some stretch left in it Oh well, only time will tell!

Thanks
