No! Stretch Marks!

[mommylex]

So I'm 32 weeks and I've barely starting showing two stretch marks on my tummy and just 2 tiny ones on my boobs where my cleavage is! Darn. And I thought I was saved :( but I'm medium deep skinned like... Tan, so I hear they're more common and especially genetic. My mom and sister had them.

Who else got them this late?!
And for those who have given birth how soon do they lighten? Not disappear but lighten or at least decrease in size?!

I have had two boys and with either I didn't get any.  Well.. except with my last, that i didn't find until AFTER i had him lol. I was one that ran straight from above my c section scar down onto to the top of my vag. Weird place i know, but I was so happy because my mom & sisters all had them HORRIBLY & I just assumed I would too so I never used lotions or creams to try to prevent them. It completely lightened up a few months later. This time I'm 7 months and so far so good, but we will see lol

A year?! An entire year! The father of my daughter doesn't care. He laughs and says "hey I have some too but you have a better excuse" but I'm self conscious anyway. So it isn't because of him but because of me! I really thought I was lucky but nope. I got them.

I got stretch marks late in my first pregnancy. I was about 8 months when they started showing. I ended up with a bunch but after about a year they really lighten up.
