I'm a first time mom at 26 weeks and still have 0 stretch marks. I've been told the essay weight you put on the less stretch marks you will get. I also use cocoa butter daily.

My mom had stretch marks.  I was using cocoa butter daily and thought I had dodged a bullet, but I woke up one morning with so many more than my mom ever got.  That was probably somewhere around 25-28 weeks. I don't remember exactly.

I was told if your mother had stretch marks you wont because my friend from work told me the other day that her mom didn't get it but she got it when she got pregnant with her son. She also said i was small to be 6 months. Im 21-year-old and 26 weeks and 3 days

I got stretch marks at around 33-40 weeks with my first! They're hereditary and sometimes weight gain has nothing to do with it, your tummy gets bigger no matter what during pregnancy!

It depends on how you carry with my first 2 I barely showed and had minimal to no stretch marks my friend looked like she had a basketball under her shirt and did have stretch marks that went away after baby was born

My mom never had any, and she had 5 kids.  I think I got her genes because I didn't get any either.  Possibly you could ask your mom if she got stretch marks and if not, cross fingers you won't either.
