Stretch <span title="marks.........................?">marks.......................</span>

Question

I am 32 weeks pregnant with my first child. So far I dont have any stretch marks, is there a good chance I wont get any? My mother had 2 children and didnt have any. When did yours first appear?

Answer 1

I never got stretch marks with either of my children. However my friend didn&#039;t get stretch marks until about the last week. It really just depends, I wish you luck, but don&#039;t count your chickens before they hatch so to speak.

Make sure you use plenty of Coco butter lotion to help the skin stretch more easily.

Answer 2

Some women gets lots, some none, I wouldn&#039;t say you&#039;re int he clear yet, but you probably won&#039;t get really bad ones if they do show up. I&#039;ve heard good things about bio-oil if you did end up with some. Good luck with the baby!

Answer 3

i started getting them at about 31 weeks and they are really bad!

sorry! hope u are luckier!:-)

Answer 4

I got stretch marks *really* early. My friend, on the other hand, didn&#039;t get any her first time around, and got a lot with her second pregnancy.

There really is a good chance that you won&#039;t get any. It&#039;s genetically determined for the most part, so if your mom didn&#039;t have them, and you still don&#039;t at 32 weeks, you&#039;re probably good. :) Cocoa butter your belly, just in case. :)

Answer 5

i did not have a single stretch mark until i was 38 nearly 39 weeks along. I was cheering, i thought id gotten away with it but no. They actually appeared over night.. I woke up and i had stretch marks on the left side of my belly. Not one or two mind you - a bunch!

They say your chances are 90% of getting then with less chance if your Mum didnt get them. As yours didnt, theres a good chance you wont either.. but no guareentees

Answer 6

I went all the way through my pregnancy with no strech marks it was only when i had the little one they appeared. still not bad, but still got some.

I would reccomend bio oil its about £12 a bottle, its really popular also advitised on tv and i find it really hepls. Since puttin it on twice a day for the past 2-3 months ive noticed my marks fadeing

You maybe one of the lucky ones and get none at all :)

Hope this is some help

Answer 7

Im 36 weeks and havnt gotten any either!!! Sounds like so far so good for the both of us. I just continue to use cocoa butter and vitamin E lotion twice a day and PRAY they dont pop up out of the blue. Although, a lot of my girlfriends who have had babies told me that sometimes they sneak up on you those last 2 weeks. Im crossing my fingers!!! Good luck :o)  

Answer 8

I&#039;m 33 weeks and i have just a few minor ones. I&#039;m really hoping i don&#039;t get anymore! i started getting them at 28 weeks. they aren&#039;t bad at all.  

Answer 9

im 31 weeks with no stretch marks too!!!  hope it stays that way i would hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

you might not get them. But then again you might get them. I&#039;d say enjoy not having stretch marks. I&#039;m 3 months and i have stretch marks. Its very upsetting sometimes. Your lucky ^.^

Answer 11

OMG THERE IS A GREAT CHANCE!!! UR SO LUCKY!!! JUST USE COCOA BUTTER IN CASE 1 DECIDES TO POP

Answer 12

I didn&#039;t have any either on my belly.  But on the other hand, when I started breastfeeding I did get some minor ones on my b*****s from the milk production.

You can put some cabbage leaves on them to cool them down.  But remember not to eat cabbage as this can cause cramps for your child.

Also afterwards if you develope stretchmarks, Bio-Oil is very useful. This is new and specially developed for pregnant women and stretchmarks.

Answer 13

not saying that you will get them but my last pregnancy i got them around week 36 only a few though, and my mom had 4 children and never got any, just depends on the person
