   Hey, mine are already starting!!  I guess it is when your tummy starts getting bigger and your skin hits its elasticity point which is different for everyone.

   Its very very different with every woman kellverona.
 
 Some woman get none (so not fair!!), some woman don't get in until the last month or two, some woman get it almost straight away, some woman get it just on their tummies, some woman get it on their hips/thighs/breasts also.
 
 I personally got mine in my first pregnancy at 8 months! Almost made it with none! Mine were very centred and only on my tummy.
 
 So far, during this pregnancy I can only see my old ones coming out, I have no new ones yet... but guess I gotta wait for that 8 month mark? Bugger it.
 
 I do recommend using a stretch mark cream everywhere to minimise any you may get... nothing prevents them completely unfortunately.

   TRY TRY TRY your hardest NOT to itch them.they drove me mad first time round.my mum suggested a baking soda paste to relieve the itchiness (calamine lotion might be good too?).it worked for me.I actually cant remember when mine appeared(hips,tummy).I already had some small ones on my boobs and thighs tho. 
I think i was around the 7-8 month mark when mine started showing. 
i reacted to the Palmers cocoa butter stuff(which suprised me as not allergic or had reacted to anything up untill then).i got bio oil which smells sooooo nice but i was slack and didnt apply it as often as reccommended.

   Hmmm I am one of those lucky ones...I got none with Paige - I religiously used that Cocoa Butter ever night BUT...I am noticing a few slight ones popping up on my boobs this time...Hopefully none will appear anywhere else!!!
 
 I do recommend using Bio Oil or Palmers...Quite a few of my friends have done this and got great results. (worth it)
 
 The Midwife seems to think it is a lot to do with what type of skin you have.

   Like Jax I have already have them after a lost a bunch of weight so I'm not too worried about adding to them.  I haven't seen any new ones yet....
