[RaspberryK]

hey girls, not been here much been slammed at work and running a house of 8 people is taking up my spare time around work. but got time this morning to sit and catch up on stuff

Sounds exhausting. Xx

 

[RaspberryK]

I have so many stretch marks from my DD, I wouldn't know if I had any new ones from DS.

Some of mine are starting to itch and get darker again.

[Feronia]

Ugh, stretch marks. I came out relatively unscathed with DD, so I hope I'm as lucky this time. Third time moms+, did you ever get any new ones with your second? (Please say no!)

I got a few on my butt and then a bunch under my breasts, but those ones thankfully faded with time. I was lucky enough not to get any on my belly!

I have heard that castor oil rubbed on your belly with saran wrap + heat can help fade stretch marks if you do it postpartum.

 

[2nd time]

I had strech marks from being fat but got new ones with each pregnanfy mine have faeed into white lines but being 1/4inch wide meansbyou can still see /feel them if I feel bravebi will post a pic

 

[RaspberryK]

I'll post some photos at some point, some of mine are puberty, weight gain and first pregnancy.
I'm pretty sure I'm getting new ones/old ones re stretching.

Hahahah 2nd time!

I have some very faded stretchmarks on my boobs and hips from puberty but they're barely noticeable.

 

[jmandrews]

I have bad stretch marks on my butt. I'm worried I will get more and then some in other places.

 

[lynnikins]

What were the weights of your others? Ds was 10lb 3oz and not sure what to expect with this one.

I already had lots of silver stretch marks from being very over weight previously but even those on my tummy are starting to feel at capacity lol I apply lotions and oils but if more are going to come then they are going to come!

Ok... 2 hours 20 minutes (11.45am uk time) until my Anatomy scan ad hopefully get to see what the goods are on these two

 

[EMYJC]

How exciting shells. Cant wait to see how you get on. All the best with the scan! I avoided stretch marks with ds1 but probably because he came at 34+6 so I didnt do the big stretch toward the end. i have them on my hips from growth spurts. 5 days until my 20 week scan. Isnt time flying!!

 

[Mommy2missR]

Melly- I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no... they didn't go away. Mine were always light (silvery?) and relatively wide 1/8"-1/4" So I find them always noticeable. Now they are starting to get itchy, well my belly is itchy, so I am assuming it's my tiger-stripes. Even when I lost weight while my husband was in Afghanistan, and my mommy pouch shrank quite a bit, still there. I'm self conscious about them, so I am always reminding myself, I birthed a 9lb 4oz beautiful, intelligent, kind, amazing little girl, so it's okay. And you have twinnies in there!!!! Your body is an incredible thing and it probably won't come out unscathed, but you're a mom now. Welcome to the club.

Shells- SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be stalking waiting for your results!

 

[savvysaver]

Shells, I am so excited for you! I will be stalking the thread, waiting patiently for your big announcement! Good luck!

 

[Pens]

I'm using palmers stretch mark lotion and bio oil at the moment to try and help at the moment but I guess if you're going to get them, you're going to get them regardless I got stretch marks when I was growing up on my legs and bum so I guess I'll be getting them again now. I've recently discovered some new ones on the top of my legs so this is the start!

 

[ttc126]

Anxiously awaiting your update shells!

 

[xxshellsxx]

PLEASE NOTHING ON FACEBOOK if you have me on there as there are still family members we can't get hold of!

We both were convinced there was one pink in there so both had an 'oh no pink' moment for a split second, but we're over the moon with our prefect, very bouncy, baby boys! Serious business of trying to find names now lol Both measuring perfect with no concerns for either of them which we are very grateful for!

Very funny moment when we were watching them after all the measurements were done, They are both head to the right and legs to the left and we were sat watching them kick each other! Fighting already! lol So cute to see them waving and rubbing their eyes, we got very few pictures, but i have a scan every 4 weeks now so next will be 13th October x

 

[Pens]
