leopard print - 309 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I didn't get stretch marks until I was 31-32 weeks pregnant and then they literally started coming in overnight. Sorry I'm not trying to freak you out. Everyone is different. I thought I was going to go my entire pregnancy without getting them. I got dark deep ones too. :( good luck. btw I used creams and oils.

peachys72@yahoo.com - 311 days ago So I'm now wondering about wraping my belly after he's born to help shrink it back? I wonder if that would help prevent them post partem? Anyone have any experience with that?

lilyxox19 - 311 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My mom got a ton of stretch marks, but thats also because she gained a ton of weight. I on the other hand did not get any stretch marks from the pregnancy belly. However I did get some stretch marks on the underside of my boobs from my milk coming in and making my boobs bigger. Those stretch marks have pretty much faded now. And you couldn't even tell I had stretch marks there unless I lifted my boob up a bit to see (and I say lift up a bit because I'm only a b-cup). I also didn't use any lotions or did anything at all to prevent stretch marks.

libra87 - 311 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am 35+5 and just got stretch marks. your most likley to get them when you are stretched the most. But I didnt get any during my first pregnancy, so I guess it just depends. good luck

allynne7 (Jaime) - 312 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Oh, and like the others said I don't use creams either. Okay, that's a lie. I've used cream a couple of times to make sure my skin didn't get too itchy. I don't know if that works but it worked for me so far!!!

allynne7 (Jaime) - 312 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm going to say - No, you wont get them or not too bad. This is if you don't go to 42 weeks! But my DD I didn't get any stretch marks. I was certain once I hit 30 weeks they'd start but they never came. I'm now on Baby #2 (almost 35 weeks) and still not a stretch mark yet. And I hope to keep it that way!

llsbabe123@yahoo.com - 312 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Everyone is different my mom didnt get one and I didnt get one until about a week before I had my girls and I got them under my belly where i couldnt relly see, I got more shrink marks than stretch marks But then again I gained 64 lbs and had twins so I will cross my fingers for you

sabrinasfirstbaby - 312 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Well everyone is different but since your mom didn't get stretch marks then there's a chance you won't either!but also you are 32 weeks and towards the end you gain the most and might get a few...I got them towards the end and they were like 4 stretch marks! they didn't look bad at all..and my mom was one of the lucky ones too and never got a stretch mark during any of her 4 pregnancies! Good luck...and if you get them you are still beautiful no matter what :)
