Little reminders of the beauty of having a little person inside of you.... I look at mine and think of how my tummy used to be nice and big and round![]()
I'm a little over seeing woman feeling self consious about their stretchies.
Sure, they're not pretty. But they are there because our bodies had to accomodate, care for & grow our beautiful little bubba's. Our skin had to stretch and not split into two bits, despite it feeling that way sometimes! And they are a reminder of what beautiful things our bodies can make! They are not disgusting.
I have them ALL around my belly button and on my inner thighs... I've also got smaller ones running inside my leg to my knees. I know, right? My knees... how the heck...
I've also got one mother right on the front of my pelvic bone that's a good inch wide and an inch plus some more long. She's very impressive... I should give her a name *strokes chin* I should call her Nigra, because when she first appeared I thought it was my Linea Nigra thinger appearing...
Be proud! They're gorgeous things![]()

Hahaha, they are the least of my worries!
I had stretchies b4 my girls that had faded, now they're back with a vengeance BUT i have an excuse now, i have 2 gorgeous girls and no-one has to know they were there b4 them!
Talking about odd stretch marks.. i have them on my shoulders from when i used to swim competitively, you can't see them until summer when i get a tan and then they go all silver
for the stretch mark appreciation club

I call them my tiger stripes :-) I have them on my bum, boobs, belly, vagina (i know right?) and legs haha They dont bother me, i colour them in sometimes haha
YAY!
Got em all over the show.
My bub was due Easter Sunday, and when i was preggers i thought my tummy looked like a giant easter egg with the stretch marks like the flashy wrapping. Now, it is deflated but the marks are still kinda easter egg shaped.
I like stroking mine sometimes. I thought I was odd
Hey, DS was due Good Friday. I never thought of myself as an easter egg before. nice!
I have heaps of stretch marks...and never been pg! =(
but they are me, and i've never been ashamed of them. just part of my body.
i love mine too and so far i havent got any new ones but im waiting for them lol
Yeah, I guess so. And I like the bumpy texture too
