32 weeks with no stretch marks, chances of making it to 40 weeks?

Question

Any personal experience or thoughts on how likely it is that I'll make it the next 8(-10) weeks without getting stretch marks on my belly? Anyone else get this far thinking they were home-free and then wake up one morning to find their belly covered in stretch marks?

Answer 1

When i was pregnant my friend was pregnant too but 3 weeks ahead of me...I got TONES of stretcmarks and she had none i was soooo jelous!! lol but after she gave birth thats when she had them...she didnt have loads like me but they were there...

Answer 3

i didn't get any stretchmarks until i went a week over my due date!!!! naughty lil baby lol but my friend went a week over too and did not get a mark on her!!!! and she got back to pre preg body 6months after i hate her its not fair!! lol so you might be one of the lucky ones..

Answer 4

You just might be one of the lucky ones. My older sister has 9 kids and not one stretch mark anywhere. If you made it that far, there is a good chance you don't have much to worry about. Put lotion on before you go to bed each night, just as precaution. Good Luck!

Answer 8

well i say dont stress out your skin with sudden movments. i have them from late into my first pregnancy catching a ball in the pool.. as soon as my arms went too quick up, i was like AHHH ..and there they were- little red lines on each side of my belly button and i also got more on my lower back during delivery! so dont forget about there too!

Answer 9

I didn't get any stretch marks whatsoever luckily. Moisturisers help as they soften the skin to help with the stretching process, but alot of it has to do with your individual skin elasticity and of course how big you stretch. I wish you luck
