It is official

I officially have stretch marks on the under side of my big ol' pregnant belly.... My wonderful mother pointed them out to me just a few mins ago since I can't see there : /  I knew it was pretty much a given because mom had horrendous stretch marks while pregnant with me. She almost seemed envious though because I guess she had them way worse at 35wks.... I can only hope that my water intake and lotion fetish has been my saving grace. BUT THIS *****!!!!!!

I've had them since I was younger, started on my boobs and thighs and a couple on my tummy from gaining weight too fast, but now I have three really thick and deep ones that just feel nasty on the underside of my belly. My hubby loves them, which makes me thinks he's a weirdo but he loves big girls so it's natural to him. I used to try the oils when I was younger but they never worked so I gave up and just let nature take it's course. My doctor says there is laser treatments available if they bother me that much but meh. It's just skin imo.

Yeah stretch mark are a b*tch! I got them with my son so I'm use to them by now but now that I've gotten bigger the old ones are getting bright again, luckily I've only gotten one new one this pregnancy but that could change tomorrow ha

I started out good until my stomach started itching. The they just started popping out all over my stomach. Its hard not to scratch when its so bad and you put lotion and cream on them. It makes me depressed sometime and husband don't let me express my feelings. So I feel like he doesn't understand. I'm trying to deal with them.

Totally know how you feel! Instead of stretch marks I have gotten cellulite (I'm having a brain fart on how to spell cellulite lol) and I didn't even notice it until last night when I asked my hubby to put coco butter on my back and butt and he pointed it out and laughed too!! So hurtful, jerk =(

I noticed a few on my sides near my hips a few weeks ago but they weren't super noticeable... I've had a few on my thighs way before pregnancy due to how much weight I lost prior. I guess because they were pointed out while my mom laughed kinda rubbed me the wrong way : (
