Stretch marks??

[rachm]

Hi

I think my bump is quite big now but I haven't got any stretch marks.........yet!

I am 28wks at mo does anyone on here have them yet? and if so when did they start to appear??

I don't think I will be lucky enough to not get them I was just wondering when to really start expecting them. I use bio-oil every day although i'm not sure that will make a difference.

Thanks

Hey hun i did not get stretch marks with my last pregancy untill 40 + 2days. i went 9 days over which really bugs me now lol, cos if she had cum out on time i would have avoided them completley lol. Just keep using the bio oil hun the say it does help alot, wish i had not waited till after i had them. xx

I started getting them around 30 weeks and even though Ive used bdy lotion, coco butter and bio oil I've got loads now!

If those things are supposed to help I'd hate to see how bad the were without!

Lol I've read if you're gonna get them then u will as creams/lotions don't go deep enough in skin.

Oh well fingers crossed!!

I'm the same as you, I check daily & have always used body cream even before pregnancy, but I think if you're gonna get them there's nothing you can do to prevent them, but every little may help!! I've got a few that I had before pregnancy, so I know I'm not immune, there's still a lot of stretching to do me thinks!!

Good luck

I've still none on bump*yet* only on hips n bum a little, but they're white/silvery, don't look too bad.

I'm really wondering when mine will show up. I know I'm prone to them as I have loads of old ones from being overweight and from puberty...but no new ones yet. I lost around 100lbs in the 2 years before becoming pregnant so I'm wondering if my old skin will just accomodate most of the stretching I'll be doing.
I use some basic vitamin E lotion every day to keep the itchies down, but wasn't really thinking prevention, just comfort.

I'm 30 weeks on Mon and I have got them on my sides, underneath my boobs, one on my bum and a couple on my inner thighs.. I've had them 4/5 weeks now. The ones on my sides are the ends of old silvery ones tearing

My mum got HUGE and went overdue by 1 week 1 day and didn't get any...I'm hoping that I'll be able to avoid them! I only just started to get a proper bump though... There are some marks on one of my boobs that look suspiciously like the start of minor stretchies... Ah well!

Not much you can do if you're gonna get them - just drink plenty of water and moisturise as it'll help your skins elasticity...

Mine started to appear at around 36 weeks x

I only have a few small ones on the sides of my bump - my mum was covered though so I fully expect them to emerge at some point over the next 5 weeks!

Not to scare you but...I got my first one on my belly at 29 weeks and from them they've spread like wildfire xx

 

[Karlielkc]

i agree, i got mine about 2 weeks ago, and they ahve spread a fair bit x

SMs can come at any stage. Mine came at about 20 weeks, and have just grown since. Make sure you keep moisturising, but I don't think that will prevent them either. You may be lucky and not get any, but if you will get them, I don't think bio oil will do much. If you get them, and they're itchy, moisturising helps soothe the irritation.

I've got them on my hips and legs, which I don't mind too much because they'll fade, it's the belly ones I'm worrying about mostly.. think it's only a matter of weeks for me though!!

 

[kristen77]

None yet for me...

 

[hayley_willis]

I havent got any yet but I am only 28 weeks, Have been using bio oil every day to try and help!

I'm almost 36 weeks and I noticed my first ones at the weekend - they are tiny and on my hips - about three on each hip (at least they're symmetrical!!) The thing is I have hardly put weight on my hips but my bump is getting really extremely heavy so I'm thinking maybe it's the sheer weight of carrying (I'm carrying all on the front). Two nights ago I noticed some very thin marks on my boobs too but they are hardly noticable. I keep slathering on the Bio Oil and body butter. I had nothing until last weekend though (so 35 weeks).

I'm 38 weeks and only got one so far, it appeared a few weeks ago.. it's quite funny really, looks very random near my belly button. Just hoping none of its buddies will make an appearance..

 

[loverguts]

I started getting them a couple weeks ago right underneath my bump after it had a rather immense growth spurt! I thought i might escape cos my mum hasnt got a single one after 4 kids but noooooooooooooo. I dont mind though, they're not bad at the moment and i'll quite happily still wear bikinis on the beach even if i get covered in them!
