Stretch Marks!

When did everyone start to notice stretch marks? Which week? Did anyone forgo them their first pregnancy and get them their 2nd? Just curious..if you didn't get any thru 10 pregnancies, you need not reply, unless you have some magic trick that will guarantee the absence of these pesky battle wounds

Ughh mine came at about 24 weeks. I thought I was gonna make it with none lol. My daughter is now almost 6 months and they are fading.

I rubbed down after every shower with Palmers cocoa butter lotion. I had one on my hip and a couple light ones on my boobs with my first. None with my second.

I'm with @sands3 I used stretch Mark lotion the entire time and didn't notice any until after my daughter and milk came in then I had couple on my boobs and then one very light tiny on near my belly button but it went away as I continues putting the lotion on. But I knew everybody has different skin type and elasticity.

I probably got my stretch marks at about 16wks or so. I've been doing the cocoa butter thing since before i started showing but it just hasn't worked for me. Im not sure if it was my ob now or the one i had before, but one of them told me that if my mom got stretch marks then i was going to get them too. Kinda like its hereditary. I don't know how true that is but its starting to look like it is true.
My mom's skin stretched out real bad. She now has a pouch of dead skin X_X

I thought I was home free til about 30 wks when I realized I just couldn't see the underside of my belly lol. From 30-35wks (when I gave birth) they spread farther up my belly stopping around my belly button I got them on my hips and upper thighs too, but the belly ones were the ones I wanted to avoid the most.

@stephforever89 that is so sad!
@starxoxo9 i am always checking in the mirror cuz i definitely can't see the underside of my belly.
I have some really old one on my hips already from when i went thru puberty as well as on my thighs. I think i got more on my Thighs last time, but damn i hope my belly escapes them.

I actually got breast stretch marks when I was about 12-14 as they grew. but I didn't get belly stretch marks (that I could see) until I was 40 + 2!!! very annoying lol. I used bio oil but I wasn't very regular with it and is its been paid you can't prevent them. it's actually a hormone that does it, but the cream can lighten them and help with the appearances. my second was 2 pounds heavier so I got quite a few big ones but with the help of bio oil and vitamin e cream with primrose, you can barely notice them

Yep same here with the puberty marks lol. Idk why I thought I'd get lucky when I knew I was already prone to them! My mom only got one small one with each pregnancy but I get my skin from my grandma and she got lots with all 4 of her kids lol!
