Possible to not get stretch mark ?

Im currently 33weeks and been applying bio oil and palmer’s lotion since late 1st trimester and so far i dont see any stretchmark as of now. Will stretch mark suddenly appear at 9 months ? Noted that it’s also genetic but do any mummies here did not get any stretch mark thruout their pregnancy? #FTM

i did not observe stretchmarks during 3rd trim too. im petite, baby 3.15kg when i deliver him last week. i did not have stretchmarks after birth. I apply stretchmark cream when i feel itchy, or heavy after meals (times i ate more than usual) during pregancy. i guess if you dun have...most prolly you will not see any obvious stretchmarks.

Applied oil since first trimester religiously twice a day after shower but ended up still having some stretch marks that appear at 9 months when tummy is the biggest just before labour. But I would say luckily I applied as it does reduce the marks appearance, otherwise they would be all over my tummy!

I didn't have stretch marks up until 36 weeks when my stomach suddenly ballooned. Used cream/lotion religiously as well. But to be fair my baby caused me to swell up a lot (fluid retention) at the last weeks and postpartum.

I applied bio oil but stretch marks still appeared during 34 week and it got worse as pregnancy progressed. I don’t think it works on me. But I still apply multiple times daily because the stretched skin is so itchy.

Didn’t have any stretch marks for both pregnancies. I tried applying the butter oil but got tired of applying and stopped after a few used. Some mummies recommend starting at Trimester 2 or earlier.

I’m petite but baby is on the big side. I don’t have a single stretch mark tho. Didn’t use any lotion or oil. Read about it, they say stretch marks prone skin are very much hereditary.

i am wk 36 day 1 now and no stretch marks seen.. but i applied mama's choice stretch mark cream all over my tummy diligently everyday after shower ever since i started 3rd trimester
