I have gotten a TON of stretch marks with this baby. In fact I just did a belly shot comparison and am missing my smooth creamy belly of my first pregnancy, haha. Though honestly the stretch marks don't bother me THAT much b/c I got them as a teen when I grew and they fade to silver and aren't very noticeable.

Oh that's NOTHING! I know it's frustrating, but after 4 kids, I have more stretch marks than a zebra has stripes

I wake up every morning and inspect my tummy, expecting the worst. So far, so good, but with 2.5 weeks left, I'm not holding my breath. My DH only annoyed me more by saying "oh, dont be silly, they go away", hes in for a rude awakening.

That's only a couple - they will fade quickly.
I still don't have any new ones. But I have them from being a teen just like Shannon and they just fade to silver lines they don't stay red/purple.

Will be posting a pic in the s/o thread....you got nothing! And I can't even say mine are from being a teen....I figured since I never got them before and neither did my mom, I was safe....was I ever wrong!

I don't think I got any new ones this pregnancy but I need to do a good inspection of my belly now that I can see it again.

I had my other children in my early to mid 20's, hardly any noticeable marks. Now that I'm 32, my body is so different, I have way more now mostly on my butt! AND the biggest one is on my knee!!! So strange

I've gotten a few over the last couple of weeks and mine are itchy, too. I've been using Palmer's cocoa butter to ward them off but even that isn't cutting it anymore my bump is so big. Look at them as badges of honour.
