Re: CPW: Stretch marks
Good for you! I think stretch marks are a beautiful reminder of what our bodies have gone through!
I don't have any stretch marks... not that I can tell anyways. (I really can't see the underside of my belly!)
The stretch marks that I've gotten in the past are very light white. They are on my hips, I'm naturally very fair skinned and you can only tell that they are there when I get a tan. I'm sure this coming summer I'll notice some.. but whatever. Not too worried about it.

Mine go all the way from one hip, around my belly, and then all the way to the other hip. C'est la vie.

Started our exploration into the world of international adoption June 2012. We have no idea what this is going to look like but we are excited to find out!
So far I have none and I'm afraind I may have just jinxed myself LOL
I have very few tiney ones on my sides from before but none of them are pregnancy related or on my belly. I hope it stays that way, but if not, oh well. It is all worth it!
I was sure I'd be completely covered in them though, b/c my mom has them all over her belly....
I had some pre-pg and they've just grown throughout the pg.
They say wether or not you get stretch marks has to do with family history. If that's the case then my LO is totally screwed! I have them AND so does Hubby from gaining a ton of muscle mass in a short peroid of time during high school.
I was good up until 2 weeks ago and then I noticed some small ones on one side of my belly. Well it has since gotten bigger and spread to the other side of my belly. And I now have some under the boobs as well. Oh well, its nothing to drastic yet, but I have a feeling they'll get worse in the next few weeks. I found this quote about stretch marks and I really liked it so I hung on to it. Have no idea where I first saw it, it might have been on here.
"A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn. One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello, closed your eyes and slept in the most perfect darkness. One for every time you had the hiccups. One for every dream you dreamed within me. It isn't very pretty anymore. Some may even think it ugly. That's OK. It was your home. It's where I first grew to love you, where I lay my hand as I dreamed about who you were and who you would be. It held you until my arms could, and for that, I will always find something beautiful in it."
Ditto!
ok I'm going to out myself as being really dumb but I have three from my last pregnancy and now, because it's so hard to see under my belly and everythign is so stretched, I honestly can't tell if I have new ones or if the old ones are just stretched out or what.
so there you have it. I have a few. might be new. might be old. probably will have brothers and sisters before January 27th. It's all good.
I have a few every where EXCEPT for my belly.
My butt has a few, on the underside of my boobs there's a few and that's pretty much it.
