Aaaaaaaaand stretchmarks.

Ooooh, I'm so annoyed! In the last two weeks of my final pregnancy (most likely) these squiggly little lines are starting to appear. I was SO CLOSE!!!!! I didn't have a single one with DD and I really thought I stood a chance of getting my old body back with no visible mommy evidence.

Not fair. I really wanted to carry to term and got my wish, which is awesome, but I did not need this bonus prize.

    Yep, mine started appearing right about at 34w, which is when I had DD (but at 31w this LO was already as big as DD when she was born at 34w, so my bump was also bigger by the time I got to 34w). I was also hoping to be one of the lucky ones who didn't get them, but nope. Oh well, a term baby will be worth it :-)

    BFP1: DD1 born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
    BFP2: 3/18/12, blighted ovum, natural m/c @ 7w4d
    BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence

    Gah, they suck. I even have a few ABOVE my belly button! And my OB has consistently commented on how "small" I am, measuring "perfectly," etc. Why does my skin hate me?   D:

    I have avoided them so far in both pregnancies, but I have to say I thought I was in the clear. Auuuggghhh!

    I had some show up on my love handles and I was like okay, I can deal with this. Then I started to get some lovely ones on my sides, on the underside of my belly. I was like ugh okay well maybe they won't get worse. Well, they've gotten darker and I have a bunch more showing up across the whole bottom half of my belly. 

    I'm really hoping that if I keep moisturizing they will fade a little so that I can at least feel comfortable in my body after baby.

    Yeah, I'm measuring at about 35 weeks and baby is in the 15th percentile so I THOUGHT I could come through without tiger stripes. Bummer.
