I wanna cry...

Ugh, I know this is the stupidest thing to complain about EVER because it happens to almost everyone, but I'm gonna go there anyways....

My stretch marks have officially made their appearance (an ugly one I must say!)...

The year before getting pregnant I worked my asss off-- literally-- to lose 30 pounds. So the fact that I feel like a whale and now my stretch marks are appearing I wanna break down in tears. I know I'm being hormonal emotional but this just sucks. Crying

    I'm with you.  I didn't get them with baby #1 and had similar weight gain this time.  I thought I was all set.  Now, I have basically an X across my belly button.  Not cool.

    Aww, it's ok to be upset and cry about things that happen to our bodies while pregnant. Just try to look at it this way - every stretch mark and pound we gain is evidence of our body's incredible ability to grow a human being. Once your LO arrives, I bet you won't give a crap about those stretch marks.I know I don't.  Wink

    I'm so sorry! I thought I was in the clear, but saw them yesterday and also about cried. I'm so frustrated with my weight gain, but too late now.

    It's ok to cry! Mine are horrendous and are still getting bigger. They don't bother me so much now, but when I lose the weight I know it will be more depressing. They will fade, I guess that is a small consolation.

    Mine are below my belly button and itch soooooo bad! It drives me crazy! I put Palmer's on them all then time, but the horse is out of the barn so it seems counter productive.

    I also had a tough time with the stretch marks, and still frequently do. When I see them in the mirror and feel a meltdown coming on I try really, really hard to remind myself of how much I wanted this baby and how much other women would LOVE to be in my position, stretch marks and all...a friend recently had 2 miscarriages in a row. It helps me to remind myself of this, hopefully it will help you too :)

    I had some before getting pregnant, and thankfully they haven't gotten worse/increased.
