Up until the last few weeks I have been pretty lucky and was virtually stretch mark free...had a few silvery/spidery lines just above my belly button but that was about it.
Now... wow they are awful!! I can't actually see them unless I use a mirror, had a look last night, cause the midwife commented on them at my appointment yesterday and I was telling DF so naturally he had a look and said whoa..looks like you've been beaten up!

So yeah that made me feel really good about my body Had a peek with the mirror and they look awful!! They aren't very long, probably 3-4cm long but they are really red, and there is one below my belly button that is super red, really thick and does hurt a tad if I touch it/press it.... have been using cocoa butter on them but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I guess at least they are out of sight..lol. But I think my bikini days are over (not that I ever wore bikinis to sart with ).

I was just so shocked to see them so red and awful looking!!
