Stretch marks....?

When did you ladies start getting stretch marks? (If you have any yet) I'm 23 weeks tomorrow and I've started getting them on my boobs but so far my tummy is clear... I'm hoping I don't get covered in them but I still have a long time to go!! :|

I hope I don't get stretch marks on my way down. I'm pretty much as big as I'm going to get. I don't have any marks, but my mom says sometimes they don't appear until after the skin is trying to go back to normal.

I am almost 34 1\2 weeks and started to notice very few light ones on one side of my belly and very few kinda reddish ones in my sides, but those ones don't really bother me since they'll just fade into my existing ones I got during puberty. I've just been moisturizing like crazy so hopefully it will keep em to a minimum and hopefully not be deep red ones where it looks like a bear clawed at me haha every woman is different on when they get em. They're genetic in my family but my weight gain has been steady unlike my sis and mom when they were pregnant.

I'm 19&2 and I have them now. I had a few before pregnancy, but I've gotten a few more. I don't mind because they're the color of my skin and it's like a rite of passage lol. Earn your strips from having your baby. If they become dark or any color you can use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lotion. That's what I've always used and you can barely see my stretch marks.

I don't want to jinx myself but today 30wks and no stretch marks. I've been slathering on the palmers cocoa butter stretch mark cream every day since 14 wks when I started showing. So far so good :-)

YAY! Thanks ladies! I was sure that it was just something that happened to everyone and there was nothing we could do... Sounds like I'm going to be smothering myself in coco butter :)

Okay so you have stretch marks or starting to get them get aloe vera like the kind you would use for sunburns rub it where ever you get stretch marks it prevents them and works amazing .

Thought I was lucky to not get them but I started getting them around 34 weeks. Its usually towards the end when baby starts to gro faster throughout the last few weeks. Since the have all their organs and stuff they just keep growing.
