    Angry Stretch marks! Grrrrr!

    I just had a bath and noticed a few stretch marks on the inside of my lower leg (as in my calf!) WHAT THE??????

    I know stretch marks are generally a part of being pregnant as I have them almost everywhere else....but why there!!!!!

    Please tell me there are other people with the same stretch mark frustrations I have?

    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!

    My frustrations were slightly different. I felt like I was getting some under my belly in the last couple of weeks of pregnancy but my DF assured me there were none there. Even after the birth he assured me there were none. Two weeks later they emerged. I could not believe it.

    I have stretchmarks all over. They're gross, but hey what can you do about them. I just have non-stretchy skin.
    I got most of mine in my first pg so the second time around I didn't really get any new ones since I was already prestretched. Lol.

    Hope the rest of your pg goes smoothly and well.

    i got none both pregnancies , but now that i am amlost a week over dure , they have appeared just abouve my belly button , only 3 tiny ones ... but gees ... why only when im over due ??

    but i remeber only having them on my hips as a teenager , then once they had all faded , i thought i was home free , but i put on heaps of weight when i moved overseas , and got them on the inside of my thighs ... i kept my legs shut for a loooong time i was soooo embarrassed about the ...

    and my boobs , well they have seen perkier days ....

    hang in there .... in the last 2 weeks i have found i have become soooooo huge , but the end is near and in a few weeks you new bub will make you forget all about it
