(I've also posted this in 2nd tri) Ok, I thought this might be a bit of fun for us, as I found my first stretchmarks yesterday and they've been there awhile by the looks of things, I just didn't notice because they're on my bum. Everynight for the past 5 weeks I've checked my stomach vigously with the help of a mirror to see the bottom of my bump, just to check for the beginnings of stretchmarks, but then I happened to bend over naked infront of a mirror (don't ask!) and caught a glimpse of my streaky rear end!


Soooo.... for people who've found stretchmarks or maybe have yet to find them! What was your first reaction and where did you find them? Or how do lucky non-stretchmarked people think they'll react and their postioning will be? Thought it'd be better to chat about them then agonize over them!

My reaction was "Holy crap, whose scratched my bum?! Wait, they're not scratches!"

Quite proud of them now actually, proof that I'm a walking, talking home for my baby.

Like you, I have non on my tummy, and had been checking religiously for a few weeks!!
I even asked my mum to have a look once, because I thought i had my very first stretchie, and it was actually an indent of the seam of my top where I had been laid on it

So I got out of the bath one night and was rubbing myself down as you do, put my shorts on, and put my leg up to moisturise! I happened to look to my left, where theres a mirror...and catch a sight of my stretchies on my bum/top of legs! Theyre not awful, but visable!
I ran downstairs (one leg moisturised) and made my mum check them out lol!
She then got into a fit of giggles because I was trying really hard to bend around to see them!

I quite like them, like I say, theyre not awful...!

Lol, I can't reach mine to cocoa butter so I sent my OH a text saying "I'm sorry, but you're going to have to look at my bum everyday from now on!"
He was quite confused at first

I have them at the top of my legs and there are a lot! I swear I'm a road map

They weren't so bad awhile ago, but I first noticed them while I was shaving. I thought something felt weird when I shaved over a certain area, but I couldn't tell what was up with the crappy lighting. I got out of the shower and dried off my legs and totally flipped out and got really mad!
