I'm terrified of gaining weight during my
pregnancy and getting stretch marks. I'm
7 and 1/2 months and no one can even tell
that i'm pregnant still. I wonder if
it'll stay like that.

Your going to gain weight. And you might
get stretch marks. Not everyone does.
But almost everyone does...
Your like me, I havent gottten much of a
belly yet, but trust me. It'll pop out.
And when it does there is a good chance
you will get stretch marks. Cuz it will
happen all at once.
Like jordan said...Suck it up. Lol

Yeah, it is a small price to pay. How
does the weight go away after you give
birth, does it just go away by itself if
you haven't gained a lot or do you have to
work it off?

A lot of it will just go away...But your
going to have to work off a lot of it.
If you eat well and gain steady weight
like your supposed to it wil be much
easier. Walk and stuff and eat healthy.
You'll be fine!

Yeah dont worry too much, a lot of the
weight is fluid and baby but if you do end
up getting stretch marks there are so many
ways to make them fade....If you dont mind
me asking why are you so tiny in your 3rd
trimester?

Its mostly heredity so gaining weight
doesent have much to do with whether or
not you get strech marks.

I dont know why im still small, i've
gained 11 lbs so far. I eat regularly I
do have a tiny belly that only I can
notice but I think i'm huge. My mother
and sister weren't big during their
pregnancies so I think I inherited that
from them
