Deep Stretch Marks on def no baby in there or weight gain - help please!

[Sophie Johnson]

Hi Ladies,

The weirdness continues.. has anyone heard of this?

Not so sure where this thread fits... but i have suddenly and weirdly developed deep red stretch marks. Four in total, a little cluster of three on one side of my tummy (under belly button) and one lonesome one that must be about and inch long and 4-5mm wide and no marks around it. It looks like a scae but its def a stretch mark. When i rub over it, it has a little dent in it. To be dramatic its like what your garden gets like when there is no rain and splits.

I have remained the same weight and if anything have overhauled to be healthy and taking the Pregnacare Conception. Still in my size 14 trousers (occasionally a 16 for those stingy clothes makers - they know who they are!)

Anyone heard of this before as freaking out a bit here...

I've never heard of that happening before

A stretch mark is just that... your skin being stretched until it gives.

I'm thinking that maybe they were already there but were white and unnoticable and then maybe they have suddenly become more red so that you saw them? Is that possible?

Hello! They def not there before. I have the little silver ones on my hips etc. Going to try and upload a picture. Not sure if anything else looks like a stretch mark. *goes to take photo*

The whole picture taking experience made me think you might be right Louise!

Was probably just a shock to see them appear literally overnight.

Thanks for the rationalization
