Stretchmarks :(

I found a stretch mark on my boob this morning...what a poopy way to start the day! I can only imagine what I'll look like when I am even bigger! YIKES!

Anyone else in this boat?

Re: Stretchmarks :(

  • Unfortunately I already have a little bit of stretch marks. I guess my skin is prone to them because I've only ever weighed +/- 10 pounds difference my whole life, so it's not like I had a significant weight change to prompt their appearance before.

  • I got them simply from growing so i am expecting to have plenty although i havent noticed any new ones yet!
  • Bio Oil. Bio Oil! Bio Oil!!!! I am very propense to stretch marks and I didn't get a single one w/ my first pregnancy. Also, don't. Use regular soap. Ever. Use Dove or the Olay w/ shea butter ribbons or some other super creamy alternative. Lastly, don't scratch even when the skin feels super tight and itchy. If you get itchy use Palmer's Oil (The oil, not their worthless coco butter lotion crap) Good luck

  • There's a darkish spot on the side of my belly that I keep squinting at, it better not turn into a stretchmark so soon!

  • I already have one on my stomach and it is about 4 inches long :(

    I have only gained a pound and am well into my 12th week. It showed up around 9 weeks. Not really looking forward to a disgusting looking stomach, but I do not really care as long as I have a healthy baby :). I am allergic to Coco Butter, so I do not have many options when it comes to stretch marks.

  • I've always had some from growth spurts/weigh gain/loss, but am noticing some light ones on my bb too. ugh.

    I second the above recommendation: BIO OIL. I got it last week, and I swear it is already helping.

  • Yep, found one on the underside of my boob a few days ago.  I always liked my boobs, they were small and perky.  I even went topless on the beach on vacation.  Now they're at least a full cup size bigger and veiny.  They'll never be the same I guess.  RIP pretty boobies.

  • I first got stretch marks from my appendectomy nearly 10 years ago.  Thankfully, they faded.  I've got them on my bbs already and I would imagine that the ones on my tummy are going to come back in full force.  Boo!

     This!  OMG, I am a petite person, but have always been a little busty for my size.  I started out at a B cup and measured a 32DD yesterday at VS.  How big are these puppies gonna get?!?!   Crying  My boobs have always been nice and perky with smallish nipples and now big, veiny, less perky and bigger nips.  so sad.  LOL. I know it is worth in the end but it's hard to convince yourself of that when you're not holding that beautiful little baby!
