I’m curious because I am 15 weeks today with my first and hoping that my non-stretch-mark streak will last all through my pregnancy! How far along were you ladies before you noticed the first stretch mark with your first?
It’s when you really start stretching when they start developing. Use cocoa butter every day, a few times a day. Also, when you start stretching you will notice your stomach getting itchy. Do not scratch! This is what makes stretch marks worse. If it itches, use the cocoa butter and rub it but do not scratch with your nails! I used cocoa butter every day and was huge! I did NOT get stretch marks on my stomach. However, I did get a few around my waist but in the back, because I did not think to make sure I got that spot with the cocoa butter. I am pregnant with my second right now and am only 7 weeks but will totally make sure I get my back side this time! But yes cocoa butter really works and youll be glad you kept up with it.
i had no marks at all until the day after i had her. I was a little upset. now am pregnant the second time, and guess it will just get worse. there is not a magic lotion or anything to prevent.
Some women don’t get stretch marks – I never did.
i was around 25 weeks before i got my first stretch mark mine are not that bad just around my belly button mostly
I am almost eight months along with my first and I still haven’t gotten any. I do have a few spider veins on my sides but it’s looking good so far! I use the stretch mark lotion religiously! Good luck and congrats!
With my son I didn’t notice any till around 37 weeks but I didn’t have many and they were really light, none on my stomach just light ones on my hips and butt and small ones on my boobs but are faded now that you carn’t notice them much
MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE!
All you can do to minimise stretch marks is take care of your skin, I started getting stretch marks on my belly at around 20 weeks, from then I grew so big and so fast that my belly looked like a map… They have faded somewhat now and I find having a tan minimises their appearance too…
hmm probably around week 30, but i think they’d been there a few weeks earlier. I got a few on my breasts but thought that they were just marks from my bras so brushed it off. But then was horrified when I kept my bra off for a while and they stayed there lol. My breasts jumped an entire cut size seemingly overnight in early pregnancy so for these marks to show up a few months after they had basically stopped growing bigger was strange to me but oh well. Just remember that even if you don’t notice any through the pregnancy doesn’t mean you won’t have them anyways. My mom thought she was in the clear until after she gave birth and bam, she could see them everywhere! I’d only feel in the clear if it were a month or so after delivery and i still hadn’t seen any.
None with first, 35 weeks with second pregnancy
I didn’t get any stretch marks until my third pregnancy.
they started at around 27weeks on my hips, they got worse and by 35weeks my belly was covered!
i was happy i didnt have any until i was like 33 weeks (hoping id be a lucky one that didnt get them) but now i have them on both of my sides
i hate them but i guess its just a small price to pay for bringing a life into the world (and hopefully they will fade after shes born! haha) good luck!
i got them around 36 weeks, i didnt have any at all till then, i noticed a few. and by the time i had my daughter i had them every where!!! i used cocoa butter and some other stretch mark creams while pregnant.. and it didnt work for me.. then i had my 2nd baby.. and they got even worse.. ( i was huuuuge, looked like i was having twins)
