When did you get stretch marks (if at all)?

Question

I’m 31+4 and still haven’t got any stretch marks. Since towards the end of the second trimester/beginning of the third I’ve been using bio oil on my tummy to help prevent them. 
My mum didn’t get many and she didn’t use any oils/creams I believe, so I think my genes are pretty good. 
Am I out of the woods or can they pop up later in the pregnancy?

Answer

I was told you could find them pop up AFTER delivery so with my first I was nervous.....but I didn’t get any. I’m 33+3 today and still don’t have any this time either. I don’t really use anything but occasionally if I feel a bit tight I’ll apply cetaphil lotion, with my first I didn’t use anything lol

Answer

I know I can will have some. Got my first ones as a teenager during a growth spurt but none yet! Also nervous just like you!

Answer

With my first they came around 38 weeks. Hoping I don’t get any new ones this time but we’ll see 😕

Answer

36 weeks for me with my first

Answer

With my first my boobs were covered in stretch marks but I didn’t get any on my stomach until after he was born! I only got a couple of small ones on my stomach so it still wasn’t bad at all. But to answer your question, yes they can show up in late pregnancy and even after giving birth.

Answer

With my first they first showed up around 21 weeks and got progressively worse till the end of the pregnancy. I moisturized my belly, thighs and butt like crazy but still got them (not on the belly though). They disappeared short after birth. I am now 32 weeks with my second and i have none this time around! And I use a lotion maybe once a week only? But of course there is still time for them to appear

Answer

I'm in the same boat 30 weeks and no stretch marks, my mum never had I read they can be genetic hope they won't pop up 🤞
