stretch marks?

Hey ladies. I'm 23 weeks and so far no stretch marks! I am really small built, I'm 5'5 and was 105lb and I'm 123 now. So I think I will stretch a lot. I've been using Palmers stretch mark lotion twice daily. Was wondering in what week did stretch marks appear for you guys? & has Palmers worked for anyone?

I'm 33 weeks today, and randomly got stretch marks over night about a weeks ago. I agree with the itching after I think about it I scratched my stomach all night and the next day was sitting on the couch, I was wearing a shirt that was a little to small that showed my belly (I only wore it at home lol) and my husband said, huh, those weren't there a week ago. I almost cried!! Lol.

I have a one month old nd I dt have stretch marks. Do not scratch your belly wen its itchy . I heard it prevent strech marks. Its also has to do with genes.Everyone is different.

Iam 24 weeks and my belly is big but iam also small built . I haven't got any streach marks either my skin was a bit scaley and try all kinds of lotions untill I decided to use my hand cream that solved the issue in a few days . I use a special hand cream for cracking hands u can get it for feet too. Anyways its called okeffes working hands it seems to be helping me with the dry itchy skin onmy belly and boobs.

Mine didn't appear until I gave birth
I had a small belly so I don't have a lot & they are hardly visible :) I plan on buying a cream to make them disappear if possible but if they don't im fine with them.
