stretch marks, cellulite, and veins...oh my!

Oh the joys of pregnancy! Haha! I cannot believe how veiny my boobs are! And I have lots of cellulite on my thighs/butt...and I wasn't a big girl pre-pregnancy! 5'6 and 144...now I am 30 weeks pregnant and around 167-170. I have been working out and I eat VERY healthy...so this is just what my body wants to do I guess! As long as baby is healthy, I can deal with it. 
Weirdest thing though...I am getting stretch marks mostly on my right side! I have them on the side of my buttcheek and a few starting on my hip/lovehandle area. AND I am getting them on my BUTT right beside my buttcrack smack in the middle...none on the tummy though...which I would rather because I can easily cover my butt, but my tummy is harder. What weird places is your body changing this pregnancy??

Re: stretch marks, cellulite, and veins...oh my!
With myfirst pregnancy I only had them on my butt (right where you said yours are) until about 34 weeks. Then Igotthem on my tummy too. I didn't get them on my boobs until after I delivered and my milk came in.
With my second I got a few more in the same places plus I got them on my legs, in the back, just below my knees.
This time I haven't gotten any more but I have 4 really bad vericose (sp?) veins in my rightleg that make walking or standing for too long unbearable.
Oh the joys is right! lol
I have stretchmarks all the way down my legs to my KNEES.
I was ready to lose the ability to show my stomach in public, but seriously, my legs too? Capris and long skirts from here on out!
Ironically, belly is still strechmark free.
I am definitely rocking some major cellulite as of late!
Oh - and I'm usually pretty darn pale, so the veins on my boobs are crazy. My husband gets a kick out of how well you can see them.
And finally, I am starting to get some type of acne/heat rash type thing on my stomach. It doesn't itch or anything. The best way to describe it is that it looks a lot like the baby acne a lot of newborns get...except its on my tummy!
