There is a reason why your bump obstructs your view!

With my first son i didnt get any stretch marks, i was well chuffed!

i looked in a hand held mirror the other day and saw a bright red mark under my bump, i was a little sad but hey ho its one of those things.

last night i was attempting to neaten up downstairs, struggling like most pregnant women do and saw a whole road map if stretch marks on the inside of my thigh! hubby wasnt home and i just burst into tears!

gotta love hormones!

I too found my first 2 stretchies under my bump when taking my weekly photos

I fully expect more over the next couple of weeks...

this happened to me with my first baby, but on a brighter note if they are that low down they generally can be hidden with trousers as they are below the belly button

I got loads with my DD and they are all high up around my belly button, don't think I have any new ones but I already have a great road map of England on my bump so am not really bothered, just keep making sure I oil em up everyday. My bikini days were over at 19 with DD and have resigned myself to tankinis and swimming cossies because at the end of the day, I'm a mummy

Hope you don't get many more x

looks like i have a tattoo of the sun or some ancient symbol around my belly button from DS1. not expecting many more new ones this time around.
Battle scars - wear them proudly(since there's nothing else we can do about them)!

It seriously looks like i have a road map of the world on my belly with all my strech marks. I cry about it all the time and the hubby tells me to hush im beautiful. Its like ok but you dont have a map to the world imprinted on your skin forever now.

i got upset because i still have weeks to go so am likely to get more. i said that you'd think i wouldnt get any because my skin has already stretched from Ben but hubby simply said that im bigger this time around which in turn made me even more upset because ive put on a lot more excess weight this time to lol

i feel sorry for the men sometimes......only sometimes mind.

I'm very tempted to photograph mine. It would cheer you up no end.

I'm prone to stretchmarks and have VERY pale skin, I've used everything for them but I am a bad example of mass purple lines.

Just what I always wanted at 21.
