Question about stretch marks
| Thu, 09-20-2007 - 3:37pm |
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.

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!!!

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!!!
I actually lucked out last time and didn't get any on my belly at all.
