I didnt get stretch marks until I was 8 months pregnant! I was so upset I thought I was going to go the whole 9 months with no stretch marks lol

Lotions did nothing for me first pregnancy but I never scratched my belly and I used cream, not lotion and only have a stretch cluster on one of my butt cheeks, no belly marks

I just started getting them a few weeks ago. The first ones showed up in my groin area on the left side only (seems like a really strange place to me) and now i have more on my tummy. I thought i was in the clear and not getting any but i spoke too soon :/ (currently 38+3)
