stretch marks

I'm just curious when other moms got their stretch marks while pregnant? Also if you were able to avoid them, how did you go about that?

I used coconut and almond oil... Unfortunately at 39 weeks I still got them... Like 3 days before I delivered... I actually felt my skin stretch when I was getting out of bed and knew I just got stretch marks! They've faded quite a bit 11 months later...

I noticed my first one on my stomach at like 27 weeks. I used all the lotions oils vitamins etc too and it didn't prevent them. I'm now 32 weeks. I'm also pregnant with twins so I got them much sooner than normal.

Use vitamin e oil or lotion twice a day. No guarantee that it will prevent, but I know it's worked for some people. My mother in-law had three children, and doesn't have a single stretch mark. Use it on your stomach, sides, breast and I'd use it on the back of your thighs just in case.

What are signs of them showing up at some point? I'm currently 27 weeks and I haven't noticed any obvious signs, but I'm scared I'll wake up one day and they will have shown up over night.
