When do pregnancy stretch marks appear. During pregnancy or after? I'm 36 weeks now and don't have any, I'm worried they may pop up after I give birth.

Some women get stretch marks as the belly grows, some get them after delivery, some never get them.

you are so lucky.
i think since you have 4 weeks to go you probably wont get any. i got loads during my pregnancy and they are so visable. i got them everywhere but the worst ones were on my sides and my thighs.
they wont pop up after birth only when the baby grows coz your skin strecthes.
although i may warn you coz you have a bump and if like me a huge butt lol you may not be able to see some then once your babys born and you shrink back you spot them. i found loads on the back of my legs that i didnt notice while pregnant coz my behind stuck out so much.

not everyone gets stretch marks. Mine didn't start showing until around week 32. you may not see some of the ones that are on the lower part of your belly, though... I wouldn't worry too much about it! it sounds like you're going to get away without them!!

You would see them now if you had some. Some women don't get any at all. I got mine in the last 2-3 weeks of pregnancy. Try rubbing cocoa butter on your stomach, breasts, butt, and hips frequently for the next few weeks just in case. Good luck!

it all depends on the size of your belly really. SOme people are having larger babies than others. I suggest coaco butter just in case that way your skin is smooth and if you get stretch marks then they wont be as bad as normally without the lotion and its safe while pregnant.

i highly doubt you will get them if you haven't already. and once you have the baby your stomach will reduce in size and you definitly won't get stretch marks from that. stretch marks is caused by rapid weight gain. the scars you would see are the tares of tissue under the skin.
