when did you start to get stretch marks?

I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I only have my phone internet at the moment and don't know how to search the boards.
When during pregnancy did you start to get stretch marks? Where did they appear first? I didn't get any with first two kids, but I am rapidly expanding in areas that I never did before (hips, butt, thighs)

I got them after my first was born, I moisturised faithfully until the day he arrived, I didnt know you could get them from losing weight! I didnt get any new ones with my second and so far none (37+5) with my third.

With my first I was 34 weeks when I got them. I didn't get any new stretch marks with my second. And so far with this pregnancy no new ones!

I noticed mine at 36weeks.  It's crazy because they weren't purple or anything, I only noticed them when I layed on my back n they were like indented looking.  But mine r very small and around my belly button (that's where all the ladies in my family get them).  It differs with everyone
