Re: When did you get stretch marks?

  • I know mine started after the halfway point and was more towards the end.  I can't remember which week exactly.

  • I really don't remember for sure when they started. I was just surprised that I got so many of them considering I'm already plus size and thought my skin was already pretty stretched.

    Pretty much this.  I don't even really remember getting fatter.  It's weird because I have the sucky "bottom" belly and that pretty much stayed the same.  Only the top of my belly grew and I didn't get stretch marks there.

  • I said I didn't get stretch marks and that's true for my belly. I did get stretch marks on my boobs because they grew two sizes from BFP to post delivery and my milk coming in.

  • I got my first one somewhere between 30-34 weeks and they just kept showing up. I also got some during delivery really low on my abdomen. I looked like a tiger. They are a lot more faded now though, but they've never bothered me. I'm curious what'll happen to them or if I'll get more this pregnancy.

  • I haven't gotten any new ones yet. I had a bunch from prepregnancy that have become slightly exacerbated, but no new ones.

  • The only place I have them is around my stupid belly button piercing, which I took out a year ago. They showed up around 30 weeks I think? I guess I do have one starting on the underside of my belly, but it's not very noticeable yet. We'll see how many more show up in the next three or so weeks...

  • I put "never," but I've still got several weeks to go, so we'll see! I've just got the linea negra going on, but even that's not too awful.

  • I wound up with some on my hip, one tiny one on my stomach that you would never guess was there now and then a bunch on my boobs when my milk came in. Thankfully they're mostly starting to fade now.
