Funny story re: stretch marks. I thought I was going to get away with not getting them. I had none all the way up until 37 weeks and even then, I didn't notice b/c they were on the bottom of my belly and frankly I hadn't looked down there. I attempted to trim my bikini line so I pulled out a mirror and was shocked to see a bunch of stretch marks. I put the mirror and razor away and scheduled a bikini wax instead. lol
I got light stretch marks on my hips, inner thighs, and underside of my breasts with my first pregnancy, but nothing at all on my belly. It definitely took me by surprise because I wasn't aware that it was common to get them in other places. I didn't get any stretch marks anywhere with my second pregnancy....I guess because everything was stretched out already? Hoping it's the same this time.

I have stretch marks everywhere! I got them on my knees and butt in high school so I assumed I would get them during pregnancy. They are on my breasts, stomach, inner thighs! The one on my inner thighs are the worst. Who knew.
I got stretch marks all they way down to my calves with my DS! Stomach/hips are covered.. no amount of lotion or cream to help with all of that. Haha He is so worth it though!

Ignore my very unflattering pants (they're comfy) and the dog butt in the background. This is 17+2.
Photo below is 6 weeks, just for comparison.
14 weeks! Tried on my yoga pants I got from Old Navy. It’s a keeper!
