I'm 33weeks+5days and I'm.just starting to get them. My mom didn't have them until her 3rd baby. I've gained weight slowly and I've used coco butter and bio oil sense I found out. There is no way to prevent stretch marks, if its in Your genes to get then you'll get them.

I never got any. I had my partner rub cocoa butter on my belly and breasts every couple of days - it was relaxing and sometimes sexy and kept us connected because we talked to each other and to the baby while he did it. My mama had three babies with no stretch marks so I wasn't likely to get them... but don't tell him that ;-)

As soon as I turned 40 weeks they started showing up bcuz im just getting bigger/: if I didnt go past my due date then I probably wouldnt have them. Hoping not to get anymore while waiting for my baby to come out.

If I didn't go over my due date, I probably wouldn't have gotten any. The only place I have marks is where my bellybutton couldn't stretch. I used lotion that had a concoction of all different types of oils and butters in it, but my family has good skin genes, so I think that has more to do with it.

During 36 weeks is when stretch marks on tummy started showing up. I've had them on my hips for longer though and boobs too

I beat stretch marks my 1st pregnancy .. I was 125 & @ the end of my pregnancy was 160.
I'm now almost 12 weeks pregnant, & don't have any yet ... But I find my belly is showing a lot faster then I did with my first.
I used baby oil all throughout my first pregnancy.

Every woman is different. I'm on my second child, 33 weeks, and I haven't gotten any. Stretch marks have actually been proven to be hereditary. If your mom has them, chances are, you probably will to and they can happen at any time in pregnancy.
