BL**DY strechmarks

[Gemma & Jake]

I started getting stretch marks on my bump and hips at about 20 weeks and they are getting worse by the day. I have been using stretch mark moisturising cream and that bio oil which is meant to be good so hopefully it will help but I think if you are going to get them then whatever you do you will still get them.

I sign up for a newsltter from Pregnancy Without Pounds (not that I follow the advice ) and I was just sent one about stretchmarks that said its not so much what you are rubbing on but the massaging that helps because you stimulate the skin rejuvenation. I will post the link:

*bump*

I'm bumping this because I CAN'T BELIEVE Ive spent 40 weeks with a smooth, blemish free bump only to wake up at 40 plus ONE DAY with purple flames creeping up from my pubes. No fair!

A word of warning to any smug ladies who think they've got away with it.............They're gonna get ya!

Oh yeah that always get ya xx

Oh LittleMinx, That's crap! was ther any warning? Any extra tightening or anything?

 

[Minxy]

No, my mum commented I was looking bigger yesterday, and I felt a little skin soreness this morning and saw them! I'm expecting bump to expand rapidly now, although to be honest I'm still carrying pretty compact. I've been so moody I didn't bother with lotion the last couple of days, maybe that's why?

Skatty, get on that raspberry tea love, DON'T GO OVER!!! (not until 35 weeks of course!)

OH was great, said they were 'just another point of interest on my lovely body!' Bless

poor you hun that happened to me aswell but not so late on..although i did get new ones everyday the main bulk appeared over night at 37 weeks when the baby dropped i bet you your baby moved down loads quite quick and your skin couldnt cope! its horrible i thought i got away with it massaging in my coconut oil every night...no such luck!!

ah well theres always bio-oil! xx

Fortunately I've been okay on the stretch mark front - well at least on my tummy, I've got some nasty cellulite on my arse and thighs (guess you can't win 'em all), really I shouldn't say anything as I still haven't had my baba so really as per a few of your comments anythnig could still happen , GREAT!!!
By the way Skatty I liked the website even though it's no longer in use, nice stuff.
Glad to hear your feeling better today, not long now for you hun - yikeees!!

Aw no litle minx. Exactly the same happened with me. On my due date found a stretch mark and then every day I went over there were more and more. Got me so down and I still hate my tummy now. I know what you mean Fran about the can opener look. Littleminx I hope you don't go as late as me hun

 

[fran_23]

i was just looking at some of my bump pics and the day before my due date i look like i just have a few stretchmarks then in the pic i posted its the a-z of stretchmarks that was 9 days later doh! if only hayden was on time it wouldnt have been so bad

I had no stretch marks at all untill 2 weeks ago! (when i put on that extra stone and a half) and since then they have got worse and worse. I showed them to my best friend, matt and he said that my belly looked like corned beef! Corned beef?

 

[hev&madi]
