dunno, i got all mine while i was preggo with dd1 and didn't get any with dd2 or ds before or after pregnancy. it doesn't make sense that you would make it this far and then get them after giving birth... unless they are talkin about on your tatas if you are bfing

 Everyone is different and it mostly has to do with genetics.  My mom or sister never got them and neither have I and I'm currently 31 wks prego with number two.  I've never heard of getting them after the fact though!

You probably won't. I didn't get many with my pregnancies either, and they didnt' continue after. They got better after he was born.

Its not that you get them after, its just that you might have some stretch marks that you don't notice right now. That happened with my son. I didn't notice them but when my stomach started to deflate, I noticed them. Its simply because the skin isn't stretched anymore making it tight so they are more noticeable.

I dont think it is that you will get more persay, but that when your skin shrinks down to normal size, you will probably notice more. I thought I only had a few when I was preggers with DD, but once I shrunk back to my normal size, I found a lot more that I hadn't noticed when my skin was all stretched out.

 it's not that you get em afterwards it's that you notice em after. but if you dont have any now you shouldn't have any after. but if you do thye will be more noticeable
