I'm curious about how many of us have gotten stretch marks so far. I'm 35 weeks and don't have any (yet--I know there's still time). Please don't vote if you already had them (unless you're speaking of this time during your last pregnancy)!

Not yet.....(fingers are crossed)...I'm 36 weeks and 5 days! Hoping to make it 2 more weeks and 3 days without any....we'll see (holding breath)

Ooooh yeah. They got me GOOD! My SIL says I have the most she's ever seen on a mom carrying a singleton..eek! They even surprised my midwife! lol.

I didn't get them until I was 37 or 38 weeks along with dd. I have some new ones from this babe that I think showed up around week 33.

Millions of them. And they're perpendicular to the ones from my first pregnancy so now my belly is plaid.

It never occurred to me that I could get them on my breasts! I went from a 34C to a 36E/F, so I'm surprised there aren't any.

I try not to think about it.... : My poor tum's gonna hang like a bag for a few weeks afterwards - just thinking about it turns me white! eeyuchh!!!

Nope, not on my tummy. I have a few on my hips but my tummy is bare!

You know I already had a bunch from my first 3 children, so I figured I wouldn't be getting more - but low and behold, I seem to be getting even more - mostly on my breasts.

My torso is going to look like a road map by the time I am through!

I've gotten new ones each time. It's like a game I play with myself now. Find the new stretchmarks.

My first pregnancy I didn't pop a single stretchmerk until between 38 and 39 weeks, then bam - a bunch all at once, lol. (Okay, I can see why a mom getting a c-section anyhow might do it by 38 weeks in light of that timing, heh.) I'm at the same point in this pregnancy and I'm not seeing any new ones I don't think, just can feel the texture and see all the old ones spread back out, so they're all white instead of red this time. There's still a couple weeks for me to develop some new ones I figure

I'm almost 37 weeks, and I'm just barely starting to see a few showing up. I have plenty from my first pregnancy, but I'm 30lb lighter this time around...maybe it won't be so bad!

36 weeks, 3 days. not a mark.

I'm 37 weeks 5 days and I got a ton of new ones this time 2 pregnancies ago but no new ones last time or this time. Maybe my skin finally gave up LOL
