Nope not at all......Most appear just a couple weeks before you deliver.

Nope

What if you don't gain a lot of weight during your pregnancy?

I only gained 27 pounds and I still have a few. But they fade also. I don't know one person who made it through pregnancy without a single stretchmark, but dont sweat it. No one can even see mine! Lol!

Ok, well thats good news

The weight part doesnt matter, its how much you stomach stretches. My stretchmarks on my sides lightened up just the front of my stomach are still noticeable. My stretchmarks didnt show until a month before I delivered. Im hoping they will lighten up more and im sure they will I just gotta give it time since I just had her 2 weeks ago. But there is a good thing to think about the stretchmarks, they are a suviner(sp?) of bein pregnant lol and u can remember the good ol times of being prego

Trust me, after u have the baby, u wont really think about the stretchmarks at first, u'll be more worried about losin all the weight! Cuz ya most people lose it all, but sometimes it'll take some time... So stretchmarks wont be such a big deal after lol!
