Stretch mark?

[maisong]

I'm 19 weeks pregnant, but I haven't got any stretch mark yet. How many weeks were you when your stretch mark start showing?

I got a couple new ones around week 25 or so but haven't noticed any new ones in the last month. I've had stretch marks since puberty though (hips, thighs, and breasts) so I pretty much knew I'd get them no matter what I did.  It can also be very genetic!  I've always been 10-15lbs overweight, but my younger sister who is stick thin and seems to have no body fat at all also has stretch marks on her hips and breasts from puberty.

I was 32 when i had my first and used palmers cocoa butter stretch mark lotion religiously every day and didn't get a single stretch mark. I'm now 33 and 30 wks with my second and i haven't used anything and i dont have stretch marks. I drink a lot of water and watch my diet so i don't gain to much to fast and that might be why but I'm not sure. They say stretch marks are hereditary my mom and sister got them but so far i seem to be ok

I am 39 weeks a ftm age 31  & haven't got any. Considering that I have put on 28kgs I am extremely lucky. At the beginning of pregnancy I asked my midwife if there was anything that could be done to minimise getting them. She said that mostly it's down to gentics but to keep myself well moisturized inside & out. I drink loads of water & juice daily, also use bodyshop brazil nut beautify oil on my tummy along with a little Palmers body butter.

I got them at 32 weeks and they are getting a little worse now I'm at 36+3. I moisturise like crazy and always have done but mine look like they will disappear soon afterwards, hopefully. I don't think there's much you can do about them.

I asked my mid wife and she told me that stretch marks mainly depend on your age. Basically the older you get the less risk you have to get them because skin becomes more elastic. Apparently if you don't get stretch marks before week 30 they won't be that bad and most likely disappear after the pregnancy. Doesn't really matter of yiu use cream or not.

With my first baby I didn't get stretch marks until I turned 36 wks.  With this one it started sooner around 30 wks.  Stay moisturized you might not get any.
