feel so upset!

rose19 · Jul 8th, 2009, 09:36 AM

Feeling so down about them. I'm covered! They're so red and sore.
I have showed a few preg ladies and got shocked responses, can they really be that bad, am I alone ladies????
first baby too. Just it's easier to deal with if you know you're not the only one. :'(
love to all bumps, pink 38 weeksxxx

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, but what is it that you're covered in?

Oh hun, try not to worry so much. I know they arent nice but unfortunatley thats part of the whole pregnancy thing!! They will fade after the babys born.

i have stretchies from growing as a teenager but can honestly say that now you would only notice them if i pointed them out cos they do shrink and fade i promise.

i thought i'd managed to get through pregnancy without developing more, but about two weeks ago when bump dropped it seems my skin couldn't take the sudden change and i've now developed them on bottom of my bump...i am religiously putting bio oil on twice a day and moisturiser at lunchtimes too.

the best way to look at it (which i read on a thread here a little while ago) is not only do they fade into teeny silvery lines, but also it's your badge of motherhood... it's a sign of you carrying a little life in you

Look at them as a battle wound, one to be super proud of

You carried a human for 9 months!!!!!! It should make you look at your body in a new found light, you are kinda like a little super hero haha

If they're sore (that would upset me too, i don't like my bump hurting) try massaging them gently with a rich moisturiser of some sort. The action helps the circulation and the skin to mend itself, and will make them feel better. When my bump is sore, I give it a gentle rub with something nice and it really helps

Hey,

Have alook on amazon, they have bio-oil (125ml) for £7 with free p&p. I haven't tried it yet but it's supposed to be brilliant. (I have lots of scars from being so clumsy/ drunk

- and loads of people have recommended using this over the years).

actually aunty e makes a good point...if it's sore gently rub moisturiser in. mine's sometimes sore but mainly itchy and i force myself not to scratch and to rub moisturiser in instead as scratching will make them multiply and worsen...
