I am 21 weeks and dont have any yet. I have gained lots too. Not everyone will get them, my sister didnt. I take after my mom a lot so I will probably get them, but my sister takes after our grandma who didnt get them. My sister gained 40lbs while she was prego too...so she was pretty big. If you have a large weight gain you will be more likely to get them than someone who gains slowley. Good Luck.

I am 25 weeks and I have already gained 20 lbs. :( Still no stretch marks I will probably get them though because I have some old ones on my hips from non-pregnancy related weight gain and loss. I really believe in the cocoa butter lotion thing though because the ones on my hips are not really noticeable to anyone but me. I have used it religiously though after every shower and I put pure Shea butter on my belly at night before bed. Even if it doesn't work for the stretch marks it helps with itching and makes my skin feel good.

My first pregnancy I got them at about 6 or 7 months. With this pregnancy I got them about 4 months! I was not to happy about those early stetch marks. They fade pretty well though. Also, All of those things that say that they are good for stretch marks and to use them during pregnancy are a load of crap. I tried them and they DEFINITLY did NOT work. They didn't work for anyone of my family and friends either. I'm just telling you that because I don't want you to waste you money.

At 29 weeks I still don't have stretch marks on my belly. I use a lot of lotion with vitamin E and it helps with all the dry skin. I have gotten a few stretch marks on my legs and on my sides, though... I noticed those around 26 weeks, but I keep putting on lotion and they haven't gotten any bigger.

I already had a few before pregnancy, but they really came around 6-7 months, and when my milk came in after birth. Nursing is the best.

I don't remember which week but it was mid pregnancy and I was so disappointed. They itch and look horrible. But someone on this board made me feel better when they said it was a badge of honor. If you get em wear them proudly.

I never got them on my belly, however, I did get them on my hips around 24 weeks and on my breasts when my milk came in after delivery.

I was in about my 8 month until I starting seeing them. I got mine in my low abd and the legs.
