I'm 27 weeks pregnant and haven't gotten any stretchmarks yet. I'm just wondering how far along all of you were when and if you got them. I don't think I'll have any though *crosses fingers* My mother didn't get any :)

I never got any. My mother didn't either and my doctor said that's it's usually hereditary so you're probably safe too. My friend started getting them at 22 weeks.
I did get a few really light ones on the lower part of my breasts and I didn't see them until after I had been nursing for a few weeks, but those weren't a big deal.

I did not get stretch marks in my first pregnancy until like a few weeks before I gave birth. They were mostly on my butt/lower back area and breasts. They did go away a few months after giving birth. I am 20 weeks in my second pregnancy and am starting to notice faint marks where they were the first time. I hope (and think) they will go away a few months after I give birth this time too. You will be really lucky if you don't get any :)

I'm 37 weeks pregnant with my first and I started getting mine at around 30 weeks and now I'm covered in them and I've been using Palmer's lotion for stretch marks every night since I started getting them but it's obviously not working. Also my mom never had any and she's had 5 kids.

I didn't find any stretchmarks till after I had my son!!!! I found 3 small ones (the size of a mini m&m)......One on my left hip, above my belly button and below my belly button. Otherwise, I got no stretchmarks, my mom said she did.........

I began getting them around 31 weeks. That is when my stomach really started to get big really fast. I'm 37 weeks now, and they haven't slowed down yet! I don't think I could possibly get more!

Mine came in at about 36 weeks... and they were more noticable after the birth... they are still very small and light though...
At CVS they have a stretch mark cream w/ cocoa butter... definitely try it!!!
My mom has BAD stretch marks, and I barely have any...

I didn't get any until I was 36 weeks pregnant. I was very sad needless to say because I didn't think I would get any either. But, I was wrong...:(

ooo girl rub plenty of coco butter on your belly and pretty much all over your center. i thought i was gonna walk away unscared and lucky me i have them all over my belly. i regret not listening to my mom. never scratch you belly either. once your skin becomes tight is about when they will start appearing unless you take care before, during, and after!

you probably get any, if you do it might only be on your breasts, must be nice not to have any.
