no more bikinis for me ever again ... I found the little monsters last night.... and I couldn't help but start bawling... I'm only 31 wks and they're already here!!! I can't imagine what I'm going to look like by the end of this...I'm so done with this pregnancy already, I want my body back for MYSELF.
Don't worry! Just keep moisterizing and maybe they will fade????

Oh, I know I'm going to get them too...I just keep slathering on that cocoa butter and pray every day that they're not so bad...

I know you are just venting, but you will feel better if you just try and keep things in perspective....you have an amazing miracle growing inside you that will bring you so much joy and happiness....when you weigh that against a few stretch marks, no contest right?

Stretch marks? That's all?! Just wait til the droopy boobs, and the hanging tummy, and the skin ailments. The stretch marks are the least and I agree, once that baby gets here you'll see that it's all worth it. Plus, you're gonna be a Mom, no one expects you to look ike you did when you were 18.

Why isn't that making me feel better?

Re: Well... that's it for me...
I'm right there with you Jimmy'sbride. I'm 30 weeks and the stretch marks are comin in strong....all on my freakin boob!!! They look like sun rays. I'm so disgusted.
Seriously...how do people get enormous breast implants without getting stretch marks. All I got was a little-might I say- well deserved growth and out come the stretch marks
By the way... I just saw your belly shot and you look awesome. You're all belly. I gained almost 5 inches around my thighs and butt (yes I know I should never have taken out that damn measuring tape)

Sorry , I guess I was baseing that on 3 kids, you're in shape and this is your 1st, you'll probably bounce back quicker than I will! By baby 3, it looks like I've gone to war!!

Hang in there! I remember feeling the same way, I got stretch marks around that time too. I still have them eight months later, but they have really faded. I actually don't care too much about them anymore. I am so happy and in love with my daughter, that I get easily distracted from the worry about my body.

Re: Well... that's it for me...
My stretch marks all faded away within 2 weeks after having the baby...with the exception of the boob stretch marks...they faded after i stopped nursing. Just keep rubbing on the coconut lotion.
I know that I was only 25 weeks preggo when I gave birth...but Ambersmom can tell you...I was huge...and all belly...i looked more like 8 months when I was only 6

And I'm sure you don't look like you've gone to war!

Re: Well... that's it for me...
Have you been using the cocoa butter? Is it alot? I've heard mederma does wonders to lighten them but I'm not sure if you can use that while PG...
