Awww hun they suck don't they. I shouldn't complain I knjow because some people get them really bad but I didn't get one with Isabelle and I was religious with my Bio-Oil and Cocoa butter and tht must have made a difference because this pregnancy I have been slack and have quite a few on my belly - arrrggghhhhhhhh. Heres to a very fast 6ish weeks, so we can hold our bubs and forget our nice purple marks!
