16-1-2009 - Stretch Marks

My mood while writing this blog:
Shocked!

I figured I would get them, but I didn't expect this! I have stretchmarks on my butt!!!!!! How unattractive is that!??! LOL! Nothing on my stomach, back, breasts, or the other areas people talk about. I have 4 vertical stretchmarks on the top of my butt (but too low to be considered my lower back)! Ugh!!

If stretchmarks itch does that mean more are coming?? I have some on my inner thighs from pre-pregnancy weight gain, but for the past week they have been really itchy. I think my thighs are going to look like a map by the time I'm done. LOL!

Oooh the joys of becoming a mom! :-)

hey, i dont know if you have this in the US but we have a product called "Bio oil" my sister in law used it and has no stretch marks at all anywhere, i am using it and i havnt seen any yet so it must work... should be able to get it from local pharmacy... if not im sure they have something similar..

i have a few on my behind from last pregnancy- but they werent *really* stretch marks, they were more of... lines? I dunno- they totally vanished when i started working out. i call them my lazy lines, lol

and just pray you dont get anymore :) i use olive oil everyinght, and it keeps my skin HYDRATED! lol! i used lotion for about 5 days last week- and my skin was thirsty by the time we got paid and i was able to purchase another bottle of olive oil, lol

anywho, good luck :D my boobies have stretch marks from engorging last pregnancy, they went from A's to full C's in 4 days, lol! They're just going to have to get USED TO IT though- go breast implants!

With my first son I didnt get any stretch marks during my pregnancy... I got two real dark ones on each side of my thighright after birth!! I didnt expect to get any because no one in my family has them. My mom had three kids with out any and my grandma had 6! As of right now those are the only ones I have from pregnancy but I'll cross my fingers!

i'm not really sure about the itching thing but i got them really bad on the insides of my thighs after i had my daughter. they were the worst ones i got. they were almost maroon, they were so bad. however...i have been using bio-oil on my stretch marks for the last couple weeks and it's definitely improving them. they're not nearly as dark as there were before i started using it. the ones on my inner thighs are much improved. i mean, they're still very visible but getting better. just thought i'd let you know that stuff is actually working!!

Awwww, sorry about the battle scars, mama! At least in a couple months you'll have a super cute baby, and you won't be thinking about the marks anymore (for a little bit, at least, and they do fade). :-)

Gurl!!!! WELCOME TO THE "STRETCH MARK CLUB FOR PREGNANT WOMEN" LOL!! I kno' it sucks!! W/ my first born pre-preg i weighed about 130-135. I gained like 30-40 lbs and had horrible stretch marks on my belly, no where else by there. My guess, is the smaller u r the worse they r or look.. : ( .... And its funni b/c i had not 1 single stretch mark, then when i got 7 mos pregnant they jus came outta no where.. And for me the itchy they got the more that came and it got unbareable 2 try not 2 scratch. Even w/ the "Palmers" stretch mark cream..... Only advice i can give u is 2 try ur hardest to not scratch.. Rub them and put loooooottttsss of stretch mark cream on it, try to get the best kind u can, i kno' that stuff gets expensive but itll be worth it in the end..

I have them all around my upper thighs and hips and now I have a few on each side of my belly button. Thankfully my husband says he doesn't mind cause he put them there.
