I didn't have any til after I gave birth & they're just on my butt. I was worried too but once your baby gets here you won't even care.
It's genetic ..... The oils and lotions help with the itching so it doesn't make it worse but if your family has them you probably will too .... My mom carried twins and didn't get a single one so I thought u was golden but then all the sudden I got them on my sides and boobs, thighs and calves, they apparently run on my dads side and I was good till about 38 weeks and I got one on my belly like a week after my little one was born it was random and weird lol
I dont have them on my stomach but i do have it all over my butt and thighs
I made it to 29 weeks went to sleep without them woke up with them i was sad bc i used bio oil and cocoa butter everyday
I got them on my stomach at 38w it was like I woke up and they appeared. I used everything to try and prevent them. I lathered my stomach up 3 times a day my whole pregnancy so idc what people swear by nothing works if youre gonna get them youre gonna get them. They faded though and are hardly noticeable. just enjoy your pregnancy and if you get them it wont matter when you hold the reason you got them
I don't have any on my stomach yet...but i have them on my thighs hips butt calves and boobs :(
I use an oil every night on my stomach and hips im 33 weeks and don't have a single mark. You might be one of the lucky ones and not get any either. Id try not to worry too much they should fade eventually if you do get some.
