I didn't get any on my stomach ... I got them on my upper thighs (which I never thought would happen) and a few on my breasts. I started noticing them around 30-32 weeks. i started getting them on my legs by the second trimester . i just got about 7 marks on belly and im 40 weeks:)
yes. stretch marks are a result of the skin expanding and/or shrinking due to weight gain or loss. they do fade with time though. I read an article about how, if you lose weight rapidly, you can develop stretch marks. I don't quite understand how this can happen. But then again I don't know much about how stretch marks are formed. Can someone tell me in the simplest (yet accurate) way possible how rapid weight loss can give you stretch marks?
Yes they are stretch marks and get ready because they tend to get wider and appear more I have tons on my boobs and all over my thighs and NO ONE has said anything to me! Yea, they sound like stretch marks. Why are you "really worried"? Everyone in EXISTENCE has them, even super models. You likely have them on your boobs too. You can get them when you gain weight OR when you lose weight, and its because your skin doesn't grow/shrink as fast as your insides. Don't worry about it, there is nothing to be "really worried" about! Do you think guys EVER notice them? Do YOU notice them on people when your not specifically thinking about it?
