I'm Currently Feeling:  | The stretchmarks have got me!! :cry:
I haven't really got any on my tummy (my sister swears I have one on the underside of my bump but it must be the smalles stretchmark in existence because I can't for the life of me find it!!) but my hips came out with lots of deep, red marks yesterday and they were looking ready to leap round and spread all over my tummy like wildfire!   
Thankfully I seem to have caught them fairly early on and stopped them in their tracks because DH has rubbed bio oil into them last night and now they don't look nearly so prominant... I just hope they stay that way!! |

(I know that's probably not much of a comfort but it's true.) After the birth they will probably fade and won't be noticable anymore. I'd definately reccomend bio oil for helping that - miracle stuff apparently!
Your comment about us brits using the word "gutted" made me laugh - I never use the word lol 
I'm still quite pleased at the amount I haven't got as my tummy is clear and I thought I'd get them a lot worse 'cause I have stretchmarks on my thighs just from growing up, so I must have the skin-type, and my mum and sister have got them really bad... so I'd imagined my whole tummy being ruined but thus far it's just my hips and those have already faded 
Anyone else want to / brave enough to share their stretchmark piccies?? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Oh and a friend of mine said stretchmarks only appear AFTER birth which is absolutely ridiculous, but she won't budge that statement. Weird. |
