You might not get them.

I noticed my 1st stretchmark at 30 weeks. And they spread like WILD FIRE!!

I had my daughter at 37 weeks. My tummy would be MUCH MUCH worse had I gone to 40 weeks!!

That's why I'm so Natzi with my weight this time. I CANNOT get more stretchmarks.

Tummy Butter is AMAAAZING!!! But you should keep your shirt up for 20 mins to allow it to absorb into your skin. It makes your belly SOOOOO soft!!!

Stretch marks are hereditary. If you are prone to them, you cannot prevent them.

Chances are, if you already have stretch marks, you won't get more. Your skin is already stretched out so there won't be need for more stretching and scarring.

I would HOPE not!! LOL!! My body can't afford to get anyMORE than what I have.

Logically, there's NO way my belly will stretch as far as it did the first time. I've only gained 13lbs so far and plan to only gain another 12 throught. That's 25lbs vs. 60!!

Why didn't I have this dicipline the first time?!?!?!?!? GRRR!!!! Ya live and ya learn...eh?

LOL!! It would be GRRRREAT to eat like I did with Oni. It's just not worth it afterwards.

When it's been 5/6 monts post birth, and you STILL look pregnant. I mean, I have a small frame. And my stomach was STILL pregnant looking.

fun times!! lol!

I wish I thought that way!!! At my appt yesterday, I had to POOP soooo bad. I stepped on the scale and it read 168. 5lbs higher than the last month.

My scale (which I step on RELIGIOUSLY, EVERY morning), had read 166.5. I assumed that after breakfast & lunch, it would read at LEAST a lb heavier.

Of course after the appt, I took, LITERALLY, a 2lb POOP!!!! No kidding!!!!!! I hadn't pooped so much or largly(tmi!!) since BEFORE I had Oni!!!

The nurse said that I was only a lb away from being RIGHT on track for a 25;bs weight gain.

I'm STILL beating myself up about gaining 5lbs. But it sure does beat the 12lbs per month I was gaining for Oni!!!!
