I only got a few and they are way down low on my abdomen. I think they came along about week 32. I know lotions don't help everyone, but I used some every time I got out of the shower/bath. It helped with the itching.

Funny, Vanessa. I was actually going to post the same question. I didn't get stretch marks with my first baby but I am currently the same size right now as I was around 32 to 34 weeks with him. My mom got horrible stretch marks with her second and third pregnancy. I am a little worried. I guess I am a little OCD about the subject as well:)!!

Stretch marks are completely dependent on your skin's ability to stretch. Some women might get them immediately, and others will get them later.

I have tons of stretch marks - I also gained a lot of weight, so it stands to reason, the bigger you get, the more likely the stretch marks are.

Hmm i got my first at about 21 weeksish and that was over my belly bar so was kinda uunderstandable for it to come early. I've only just noticed some on my lower back in the past weeks or so, so i guess i'll have to say at 27-28 weeks

I don't have any stretch marks (knocks on wood). I bought .Palmer's .Tummy .Butter .for .stretch .marks and have been using it religiously every day. It has vitamin e, collagen and elastin in it. So we'll see how well it works. But so far, so good!

i have the same horizontal ones on my back. My skin's very prone to stretch marks though so i'm prepared i've got loads of faded ones from pubity that don't bother me so i'm sure i'll cope when i get some more! I'm a weirdo and think pregnancy stretch marks look beautiful though

I have three, and i didn't get them until after i delivered, or let me say that i didn't notice them until after i delivered. They are right on top of my belly button....and i think that if i didn't have the belly button ring i wouldnt' have gotten them....but hell, i'll stick with three.
