Stretch marks??

When do you start to get them? I'm almost 26 weeks and I haven't got any yet. I'm just curious of when people normally do if they even get them.

I used cooa butter and bio oil every day since week 15 im now at week 27 and i got them this week on my belly but the strech marks that i had befor i got pregnant became lighter during my pregnancy and theyre almost gone
Bio oil really helped with the old marks

With my first I didn't get any till I was 33 weeks. Just don't scratch use lots of lotion. Scratching can make them go in every direction. As weird as that sounds but I didn't scratch and mine match on both sides and none down the middle. Maybe you will be a lucky one and not get them at all!

For the ladies that have said they DID get stretch marks....did you ever use any cocoa butter or anything of the sort during pregnancy?  I have been using it for about 2 months now (I am 27 weeks along now) and I don't have any, but I also don't want to get my hopes up and think I won't get any just because I used it!

I only got stretch marks with my first, and it wasn't until 40 weeks... She was born 40 + 2 days :s

I started getting a couple on my belly around 22 weeks and I have some on my upper thigh and I have some on the back of my legs right under my butt.. And I'm sure they're just going to get worse! Lol, but at least I'm getting a precious bundle of joy out of it. :)

I figured the last few weeks is when they would show up.

I started getting them on my butt as soon as I got pregnant. They have only gotten worse since but at 23 weeks they have stayed on my butt/hips.
