When should i expect stretch marks during pregnancy?

Question

Currently 14 weeks and skin still looks normal but i keep checking the mirror lol. Want to know roughly which month they usually start showing so i can be ready with oils and all. When did yours appear?

Malathi Chawla · Answer

Usually third trimester when the bump grows fast, sometimes late second. First pregnancy i got them around 7 months, second a bit earlier. Keep moisturising from now so skin stays supple.

Mine showed up around the 6th month when the belly really popped. I felt a bit emotional seeing them but honestly they faded so much after delivery. Every body has its own timing though.

Yuvika Hada · Answer

Mostly later half, around the 6th-7th month for many. Varies person to person.

For me they came in the last couple of months on belly and a little on hips. They were red first then went pale. Nothing to dread really, theyre just part of the journey.

They usually appear when the tummy grows big in the later months. My mother told me to oil early so the skin stays soft, and i started around 4th month. Came a bit but light only.
