Ive just started to get them around my boobs, im 27 weeks. But I already had some from puberty on my hips and thighs so I wasnt holding out much hope!

I'm not sure how true it is about them being genetic my Nan doesn't have any at all. Neither does my auntie. But my mum is literally covered in them. She gained so much weight with my brother and she didn't really look pregnant until right at the end. She just got real fat tbh.
I am almost 30w and still don't have any stretchmarks. Really hoping that I don't get any.

My mom never got any with me. But she got them with my sister so I'm hoping I'm not going to get any noticeable ones with my first either
