I'm 26+3 with my 3rd daughter and don't have any. Its not guaranteed you'll get them so there's not a set time on when they should start appearing. Some people are just more prone to getting them than others.

Not everyone gets them it's nothing you should be on the lookout for just keep moisturizing, I dnt have any and I've been keeping my skin hydrated since day one with a Shea butter mix I made.

SGaining Marks are not genetic. Proof my mother and sisterritory both have them. Mother had 4 kids and sister has 1. Im on my second pregnancy nearly 38 weeks and dont have even one. My first pregnancy was a boy and this one is a girl. Never used and still don't use cocoa butter.... what causes stretch marks? GAINING a lot of weight in a short amount of time. I actually have a high metabolism and have trouble Gaining weight.. Let a lone gain a lot of weight at once.. there for I dont get any. For people with out high metabolism maintain your weight through healthy eating habits and exercise to avoid stretching the skin suddenly.

Mine came around 30 weeks and now they're all over. It's genetic so people are more prone to them than others.
