I am NOT happy Re: stretch marks

Sigh. I thought I'd get away with not getting any on my tummy (I did last time, they just showed up on my hips). Well, I've already got at least 4 and I'm not even 32 weeks yet. I know the farther along I get, the more likely they are to show up. Ugh.

I am comfortable with the ones on my hips (probably because I've had them for 3 years). I wasn't looking forward to more...I guess I was in denial...

There goes the bikini this summer...I guess it'll have to wait until next year...

    No offense, because I know it sucks, but I can't help but LOL when someone can count their stretch marks. I've never even tried ; )

    Too many, and they're all on my belly.

    That's how the ones on my hips are...they are plentiful! lol

    I know it sounds silly and I know I'm whining. I mean, really? What did I expect??? lol

    Oh they will fade, are you using any lotions? I like you have 2 on each hip. But like you said, I have gotten so use to them lol....I have been using that Plamers lotion that a lot of people say doesn't work. Well I haven't got ONE stretch mark this time. Try it! And I'm sure your body will still look hot in a two piece :)

    I was hoping to avoid the stretch marks too.  And I would have happily lived in denial if DH hadn't pointed one out to me last night.  Jerk.

    I'm jealous that you can count your stretch marks. My stomach looks like a hurricane.

    about 3 weeks ago at 27ish weeks I notices 2 on one side and 2 & 1/2 (its little) on the other side I freaked out and started lubing up 2-3 times a day. I am using palmers, baby oil gel with aloe and vit E, and a thick hand cream. Plus I have been putting walgreens scar cream on the stretch marks, no more so far and the ones I have are lightened. My husband even noticed. I am sure I will get more towards the end but so far so good and believe me I have been gaining weight!!!!!!!!!

    I got 3 right where my maternity pants fall, down by my bikini line.  NOT cute.  All I have to say is BIO OIL!  Best.  Stuff.  Ever.

    I started using it when I realized I got those 3.  Now they are faded and more even, and I haven't gotten even 1 more.
