Stretchmarks..

[TiffanyJaynexo]

10 weeks today and as I looked down at my belly.. Low and behold I saw pink lines appearing. I'm size 8 normally, although now I can't fit into my jeans at all.

Definitely going to get some stuff for these stretchmarks as soon as possible!
Just didn't expect to get them so early

Also.. My uterus has moved up! My OH (who is a doctor in the making) has been examining me every day for about a week and today he could feel it had moved quite far up! I felt it when he was examining me too, and we both pin-pointed out the same place so all is well there. Very happy indeed

aw it sucks doesnt it!

I found my first few stretch marks about 10 weeks too, Ive been using bio oil, and they have faded, but it's not stopped any more from appearing x

I'm not really fussed about stretch marks, I know they'll fade on my skin, as I had a few from growing and they faded very quickly xx

I am really really worried about loose skin on my stomach though xx

aslong as u dont extreme diet after pregnancy i cant see you getting loose skin..
mine was just jellyish after my LO.. but its back to normal now.. plus a cuple of lbs.. haha!!
i dont think any creams work for stretchmarks.. its prob all down to ur skin type!
i did use palmers coca butter on my LO and didnt get any tho xx

Was going to use that butter Definitely going to get some.
Haven't used the bio-oil yet. I've only got a little bit left from when I had stretchmarks years ago (from dancing).
They've faded now and aren't too bad so I guess it's nothing to worry about

Thanks girls xxx

I use palmers coco butter in the mornings (straight after a shower) and then bio oil through the day I've not got any so far. I heard it's hereditary, like if your mum got them you might, but I think it's mainly to do with skin type and how fast you put weight on during the pregnancy. Drink plenty water too, I think that can help elasticity (sp?) xx

Well mum didn't get any (I don't think) but she checked my belly today and I do have stretchmarks appearing already! Going to whack some bio oil on my tummy after a shower and I'll buy some palmers butter in the week
