Got out of the shower today, look in the mirror and I have the dreaded stretch marks on ONE side of my belly and underneath my boobs all of a sudden. Wtf, couldn't I at least be symmetrical?! Only 9 more weeks to go. How much worse can they get?? I've been lotioning religiously with vitamin e lotion and got stretch mark cream two days ago. Maybe I jinxed myself lol.

I think our babies are growing really fast this week. (is your LO being a little quieter than usual too?)

My belly has taken on a new ginormous shape over the last three days. I am amazed I havent got any stretchies on my belly yet.

I have a few odd ones on my hips though, which is weird because i still have the same hip measurements as pre-pregnancy.

Okay, I'm a little person IRL, outside of pregnancy land.. I'm short, I'm narrow, and I don't weigh a whole bunch. I'm mostly made of muscle. I do, however, have a large rack...and puberty didn't exactly ease in. I woke up one morning with b's that moved to c's shortly after, and all of a sudden had hips. So I had stretch marks looong before I got pregnant. And since I POTS, I have been putting cocoa butter, burts bees, baby oil, vit e oil, anything you can think of on my stomach in preparation because I have NO torso. there's literally three inches of space between the top of my hip bone and the bottom of my ribs, so I knew pregnancy would stretch me out a lot.
And it hasn't helped.
or maybe it has, and they would be 700x worse had I not done it.
But still. I feel your pain.

(also, I dont think anyone has symetrical stretch marks lol. I love that line though haha)

Ha with symmetrical I meant that only to the right of my belly button has stretch marks and the left side is still normal... Looks weird. Not sure how that happened lol.

i'm the same way! one day in the mirror i notice them starting to grow on the underside of my belly (lord knows I can't see them just by looking down!) Well within a week they just crept up and are pretty dark and noticable there...but nothing on the left side. I think I see a slight discoloration where they might be starting, but it's totally different. If i remember i'll post a photo when I get home...
