 | stretch marks Those who've gotten stretch marks...did they come 1 at a time?  Could you feel them or was the skin still smooth?  Were they bright red right away?  I woke up this morning and it looks like very light stretch marks all over my belly button but my skin feels smooth still and they're very pale...I'm not sure if it's blood vessels under my skin or stretch marks  |

 | Re: stretch marks Initially, yes, they came one at a time.  They were very very faint and silvery and you could only see them from certain angles.  My skin still felt smooth.  As the pg progressed and my skin continued to stretch they appeared more quickly and more at a time and became darker.  They pretty much felt smooth until after I delivered.  |

 | Re: stretch marks They suddenly appeared one day- very late in my pregnancy ( I thought I was in the clear    ) 
 I don't remember them being painful but my skin is not longer smooth there

 | Re: stretch marks I got them late in the pregnancy too..started around my belly button and looked like 1 or 2...then all of a sudden one day there were a bunch!! THey are smooth and pink. Hopefully Moderma will work!! 
 Danielle, I don't know if calling the Dr. will do any good...I asked mine about them and he said it's genetics and it's like a rubberband that can only stretch so far. There is nothing they can do
   
 Good luck! You're almost there!

 | Re: stretch marks OMG!  I got a patch now and I am 13 weeks.  I nearly freaked!!  I have only gained 1 pound and have no idea why these evil marks would be showing up so early.  They don't bother me. I just try not to look at them!!!!  |
