Stretch marks and hemorrhoids
Show your support
My first pregnancy I didn’t get stretch marks until the last couple of weeks. Lucky it was only one or two on the side of each hip and I think they will fade off eventually. However my friend had none throughout her pregnancy and she said they appeared on her tummy when her belly started going back down, so I made sure to keep using creams etc once baby was born which I thought was a good tip!
I still have none at 39 weeks but heard you can get them postpartum so I would keep buying the creams or whatever you are using for the pp period
I have been wondering exactly the same- I have made it to 37 + and am still free of both. Fingers are crossed!
I never had any stretch marks or anything on my belly and then out of nowhere at 38 weeks I got loads. But to be honest when you get to this point you don't care what you look like it doesn't matter at all. Haemorrhoids are more common after birth xx
I'm 38+4 weeks and didn't have any stretch marks until yesterday! It's tiny but I'm sure that I will get more now. No hemorroids so far either but I've heard that it's common to develop them after a vaginal birth so.. we will see 🙈
I had neither until 36 weeks and now the underside of my bump looks like I’ve gone up against wolverine and I’m using a wee cushion to sit on at all times 😭 I’ve also had the horrendous sickness throughout (shout out to the 2 different meds I take daily) sorry to disappoint.
Hemmrhoids at 35w3d weeks for me
No stretch marks, but the piles made an appearance at 35 weeks 😅 Pregnancy is so glamorous.
I also don't have any at all! But I'm expecting to get some after birth as its quite common xx
There’s definitely still time but you may not get either, difficult to predict really! I haven’t got stretch marks with either of my pregnancies luckily (I am lazy AF so I barely moisturise my body). However haemorrhoids… I didn’t get any with my first pregnancy however ended up with one after giving birth which never left 🙄 I’ve also got a couple of new friends from this pregnancy which refuse to leave!
I’m nearly 36 weeks and don’t have any yet (on my belly anyway) a couple of small ones appeared on my hips ages ago but that’s it, hoping I have got away with it but I have heard that it’s literally in the last few weeks that they can appear
I don’t really feel like my skin is that stretched though if that makes sense, I did show quite early and I do have a decent sized bump but I wouldn’t say my skin is at its limit if that makes any sense?! But I know they do a lot of growing at the end!
My stretch marks appeared in the days after birth, then disappeared again over the months. This time I’ve got none again so you may not get them
@Tonika same thing happened to me!! I thought I got away with it, 36 weeks there was one creeping up my side and since that no matter what I did I just got covered 🙃

I thought I was going to get away without getting any stretch marks too but I got a few on week 36 and lots week 37 🥲
@Tonika exactly the same here! 🙋🏻♀️
i was the same and i was exactly like you so happy i thought i got away with no stretch marks but last week at 36 weeks BAM there they were, hopefully you don’t get them but don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed of them if you do it’s all part of growing a little human inside you☺️
35 weeks and bam so many stretch marks on my boobs 😭😭 none on my tummy yet though!!!
I had nothing till 35 wks amd suddenly appears all over my tummy lots of stretch marks
I didn’t have any stretch marks till I got to about 36weeks and then boom they came out of nowhere 😩 everyone is different tho , defo worth it for growing a baby 😌
