I have white stretchmarks on my theighs they arent noticable really. But none on my tummy.. im not in the clear obviously but i just find it odd. :/ anyone else have this??

I was 16 when I had my daughter gained 18# no stretch marks, 18 when I had my son. Didn't get stretch marks til 36 wks then it was a freaking train wreck lol. I ended up gaining 30# with him. I was 23 when I got pregnant with daughter #1 no additional stretch marks & only gained 12#. 24 when when I got pregnant with daughter #2 no stretch marks gained 15#.  Now my oldest daughter had her oldest she gained 70# & no stretch marks! & she is a tiny girl lol

I had my baby 3 weeks ago tomorrow and have already gone back to my pre pregnancy weight and size , and didn't get any stretch marks :) I think genetics and body type have something to do with it. My mom never got them but my sister did after she had her baby.

I thought I want going to get stretch marks and I got my first one 2 days ago and I'm 35Weeks and my stomach isn't that big =( I hope I don't get any more it *****

my prepregnancy weight was 177 , now I'm at 200. I always had thick thighs, so Ive always had the light white stretch marks on my thighs, but so far ( knock on wood ) I have none on my tummy. I'll be 32 weeks Saturday.

I didnt get any until AFTER I had my first when my skin shrank back...keep moisturising after baby arrives, my mistake was stopping at birth!

[1dollface8]

I didn't start getting them until I was 25weeks

[MamaBear0612]

I didn't get them until I was 35 weeks or so, and I showed early and big, so somehow my skin did all that stretching without them. Now at the very end I've got them on my side and the bottom of my bump. I get the feeling I'll have them after delivery, when my skin tries to adjust back to pre-pregnancy size.

Some women never get them others like myself have them almost completely up their stomachs and on their boobs lol (this is my second child I am 37w3d and I am one big stretch mark at this point) there's really no way to know if you'll get them until you get further along

[mrssandefur]

I didn't get stretch marks until about 27 weeks and I had one tiny one, I was so excited thinking maybe it wouldn't be that bad, yeah then one morning I woke up and they were EVERYWHERE. It just depends on genetics. Does your mom have them? If so you'll most likely get them.

[jennibugz]

I heard about it being genetic! I even ended uo asking my mom if she got any on her tummy. She said nope, she said she had em near her butt though. So im prepared for that lol

[Factorymomma]

It's also genetics too.  My first pregnancy I worked out, drank tons of water, was healthy as could be.  By week 36 my belly looked like an albino watermelon lol.  All the women in my family do :-).

I didn't get any until 30wks. :/ on my hips and thighs. My prepregnancy weight was 119

[jennibugz]

Thanks ladies . :)
I used to do alot of yoga and running.. so maybe that has to do with it. And i'm going on 19 so maybe age too. Ill wait an see :)

[mommyd2012]

A lot has to do with your life style pre-pregnancy. Women that exercise and drink water every day usually doesn't show stretch marks. This is because you skin is very hydrated and the elasticity of the skin around your belly is like a fresh rubber band. It can stretch and bouncy back without causing damage! It also depends on your age. The younger the skin the more elasticity you have!

I went with no stretch marks on mt tummy till i was 36 weeks but i had them everywhere else. and i was skinny before i got pregnant. everyone is different
