Question about stretch marks

I'm 32 weeks and I don't have not one stretch mark on my belly. Is it safe to say I'm not getting any? (wishful thinking.....yea right!!!)


I know they are also hereditary and they definitely run in my family. I also have them in other places. So when do you normally start to get them or see them on your belly? I just think it's weird that I don't even have one yet.

You could be one of the lucky ones that don't get any. I thought I was the same way, expect, I got mine about 2-3 weeks before I had Finley. If it makes you feel any better, my stretch marks are so much lighter and have been for some time now. I kick myself everyday for not using a stretch mark lotion that's in my bathroom.

Ha, I thought the same thing, then I woke up one day around 35 weeks and found a few on my lower belly, then a few more the next week. I still thought, oh, no big deal. Then I had the baby and my tummy shrunk, and the few that I had that looked so far apart suddenly seemed like a million. *sigh* I'm a bit bitter about this :-) I hear they get better though, over time, or at least less noticeable.

I figure its worth it to have my little boy, and its not like I figured I'd be running around in a bikini anymore anyways :-) Such is life! The price of being a mommy.

Hope you're a lucky one that doesn't get any!!!

I guess I will check back after 35 weeks.....hahaha. I know they're coming and it's ok, I'm ready for them. Like you said it will all be worth it when I meet my little girl. I just thought it was weird that I haven't seen any yet.

Hi-


I actually have positive thoughts... I ended up with stretch marks on my boobs and a couple on my hips with my first pregnancy, but none on my stomach, and that was with twins! So far I haven't gotten any new ones with this pregnancy- good luck!

I wouldn't have thought of this except that I'm about 2 days behind you...is it possible they're "hiding" on the parts of the belly that are now impossible to see on your own? My DH was *kind* enough to point out to me the other day "Actually, you have lots of stretch marks on your belly" and find a mirror so I could see all the marks I'd been blissfully unaware of :p

Here's hoping you are one of the lucky ones!

I thought about that and I've been taking frequent peeks with a mirror and nothing. So either they are waiting to attack me all at one right before my due date or maybe I will be one of the lucky ones.


Believe me I am so anxious to meet my little girl right now, that I wouldn't care if I get them on my face.....LOL.


:o)


Thanks,

It would be great to say that you won't get any, and hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones and not.

I sounds like you might be one of the lucky ones...with my ds I only got them on my bbs but they are gone now...I didn't get any on my stomach at all...I'm crossing my fingers for a repeat this time!!


Good luck to you too!!!
