I have stretchmarks THERE?!?! **TMI**

I don't know if this happens a lot, but I've never heard anyone mention it before...

For the last few days i've been really itchy in my pubic area, I thought it was maybe some hair growth from a little trim I did, or from pants rubbing there - it's getting hard to actually see what's going on with my big belly in the way!!

Anyway, I got DH to have a look and he said they looked like stretch marks

So I quickly go to find a mirror for further inspection, and lo and behold there are a whole pile of big angry red stretch marks all over my hooha!!! What the..? But why there?!
Awww man, I wasn't prepared for this!

I got them there with my first pg. I thought I had goten away with no stretchies at all, but I happened to look in the mirror and lifted my belly up a little (I carry really really low) and here they all were, hiding away down there LOL. I didn't actually realise I had them on my pubic area till I shaved down there well after he was born!

Yep, I got them too with my first baby. I had them EVERYWHERE. I guess I stretched out so much that that was the only place left to stretch. I'm guessing that is the same for you too.
TMI but for WIW, I don't get much hair there anymore either which for me is a good thing, less to maintain

Lisa I noticed that too - not so much when the hair is long, but when the regrowth starts you notice it heaps.

I got that with my son too .. right down the middle of my privates .. it lined up with my linea nigra so i thought thats what it was while i was pregnant but now that ive lost weight since ive had hime i can definately tell it was a stretchmark .. no hair grows there now so if i wanted to i could easily have an inverted brazillian =D .. lol
