I'm 17 weeks and 3 days and am slightly devastated that I found the start of my first pregnancy related stretch mark. I knew I would get them, I've had them on my thighs and butt for years, so I know I'm genetically predisposed to them. But I didnt expect to get new ones so early in my pregnancy.

It's on my side, and its not necessarily a new stretch mark, but more like an addition to either end of the only old/healed stretch mark I had north of my pubic line. If it's already starting, I'm terrified of what I'll end up with by the time I'm full term.

I've been putting raw unrefined shea butter on my stomach, boobs, and hips since the beginning and began using bio oil occasionally when I started feeling the itches on my midsection 3 or 4 days ago. My belly feels greasy and slimy for most of the day, so it's not like I'm NOT moisturizing.

What on earth can I do to delay them as long as possible? Is there a supplement or something that would help?

When did you start getting stretch marks?
