Don't even worry guys, I'm 19 years old and had no marks, I hit third trimester and my stretch marks go all the way from my vagina to past my belly button, and around my back. They are very deep and about a centimeter wide each. You're all doing quite okay I think lol

Yea i don't use lotions or oils or anything but I'm not making a big deal about it cause its natural to get stretch marks ur body is pulling all ur skin around ur waist to make room for the baby so its not like its a bad thing to have them they r just marks on ur skin that r there because u made something wonderful :) i was just curious as to how soon people got them nd how late others got them :) I'm carefree when it comes to my skin i am proud of who i am and hpw i look stretch marks nd all :) i have them on my butt boobs thighs nd hips but none on my belly...i weighed 120 before i got pregnant but haven't checked my weight since due to the fact i just don't care :) my son is my only concern :) as it should b u can still look gorgeous if u have stretch marks its not a big deal they r just little reminders of what u went through for ur child :)

depends if your taking care of your skin and applying lotion daily. my mom had 3 girls and no stretch marks thanks to Coco butter lotion. It all depends on weather your trying to avoid them or not. if your one of those girls that assumes their skin is elastic then you will have stretch marks everywhere. Lotion should be your best friend EVERYDAY.

Im about 19 weeks and I got mine early...about 14 weeks is when I noticed. But I think it's cuz I lost so much weight before I got pregnant (I was actually kinda mad haha..ive been trying to lose weight for ten years and I was 5 lbs away from my goal when I found out) but they were on the back side of my hips and they are lighter in color so not horrible..none on my stomach or boobs yet (fingers crossed)

37+3 & I don't have any yet. I have a feeling they're going to come after the baby when by stomach shrinks really fast. :/

Never got any on my belly and I'm on kid #5. I did get a few on my hips. At around 6 months with my first and got a couple more with my 4th at around the same time. I'm 5 months now and no sign of new ones on my hips so far. No sure why they never come on my stomach.

There's no way to prevent them anyway. Even of you use oils and lotions that just to help with the itching and stuff. If you don't get them your one if the lucky ones :)

I had nothing til 37 weeks, my belly dropped and all of a sudden there they were and i cried my  eyes out haha. I have used creams and oils from day one so I guess sometimes they just can't be avoided. They aren't dark though so hopefully they will fade.

I think I was bound to get them cause I was what you call a 'skinny mini' before we found out that we are expecting.  I started getting them on my thighs and hips at 6 weeks. It wasn't til later on in my first trimester,  that I started getting them on my chest
