Stretch marks :(

Seems like stretch marks love me :/. I was getting them on my side and my boobs but today I got a big one on my belly. I gotta say I am a lil upset and I still got 7 weeks to go. I know theres nothing I can do to stop them which is what's making me a bit sad but at least I am happy I've got a healthy baby girl. Can't wait to have her

Eventually you will forget about them once they fade and they won't even bug you!

I feel you girl. I have them too and theyre not very pretty. And i got all the colors lol purple pink and the silvery ones. :p i recently discovered i have stretch marks on my butt and thats what really upset me. It also didnt help that while i was about to leave for prenatal swimming my boyfriends mom came over and saw me in my swimsuit which didnt bother me. What bothered me was how she pointed at my stretch marks and kept talking about them and how i should be putting lotion on them. Like i wasnt aware of them already.

You wanna hear something funny about stretch marks?!?! My loving husband has a new nickname for me...one day I notice I had a few on my belly and I could feel them through my sundress I was wearing that day! I told my husband omg feel how weird this feels! He rubs actions my belly and ask what that is and I told him stretch marks and he better love them! In return he said he was gonna start to call me ruffles (after the chips) I was like what? And he replied because ruffles has ridges! I laughed my butt off! One it's his favorite type of chip and two he knew it would make me laugh and that is something I fell in love with him over!

He has also told me to wear them proudly because I have earned my strips with all the stuff women go through while carrying a baby!

I love my husband for loving me no matter how many stretch marks I have or weight I gain or even if I don't lose all the baby weight after having our son!  

So congrats to all you fellow mama's who are earning your strips...wear them proud! You're all beautiful!

I know right? It was pretty irritating and luckily for her I didn't take it personally because my boyfriend's mom tends to be insensitive like that. But it was nice that my boyfriend stood up for me and told his mom to be quiet and drop it. That made me feel better about it :)
