When did you get your first stretch marks?

Hi,

Just wondering when the average person first gets stretch marks?

I've got none yet and I'm wondering when its safe (if ever) to assume I'm not going to get any.

Thanks

I didn't get any and I'm far too lazy to use potions and lotions so I think it's just the luck of the draw.

I was using a massage oil blend (but I dont know if that means anything in theend anyway) but I didnt get any until I was 8months 1 week!!
I ASSUMED that I had made it that far, so I wasn't going to get any...then They started as a little red mark, like the button from my jeans had been digging into my beelly, adn they just spread!! lol They almost doubled in size in the last week I was pg (my overdue week).
Oh I got the under the bellybutton, all the way to the pubic bone ones

Moral of hte story...never assume!! lol

I didn't get any the whole way through the pregnancy but once she was here, you could see a few faint white lines around my belly button and near my hips but they aren't very noticeable. I did use a mix of bio-oil and palmers cocoa butter the whole way through, and am using again this time. Whether it made a difference or not who knows but it smells so good and made my tummy feel nice and soft especially later one when its all stretched out!

I used body butter all the way through...and thought I was safe!

But unfortunately there was a stretch mark bonanza in the last 2 weeks (I was 8 days overdue!!!)

Unfortunately, if you're going to get them, I don't think there is a whole lot you can do to avoid it...

Let's hope you are one of the lucky ones!!!
