Yes, they do. I've had one on my belly since I was born. Why do you think they're called BIRTH marks??

I had one on my lower back when I was born, dumbass.

Well since none of you bothered to use a real name I'll just reply like this: no they aren't go ask any pediatrician. They develop within the first two to three years off life. Do a little research before you call someone a dumbass.

No way, I've had the same mark on the side of my face since the day I was born, and there are photos to prove it.

Did you read what was written further down? And is it a birthmark or a port stain? There are differences.

I thought I was nuts when I saw my daughter didn't have a birthmark so I asked the pediatrician and they told me it can take up to 3 years, not always but sometimes. Though babies are never BORN with them they can also appear with in the first 24 hours in some infants.

Why would you be so curious that your baby didn't have any birthmarks? It's not like something that everyone's supposed to have.

I was under the impression that everyone had them. So I asked when we went in for one of her check ups.

how come we dont see so many ppl with them in obvious places? they're probably either rare or tiny...

I'm sure my twin sister has always had one, because that's how our mum used to tell us apart.
