| Mine wasn't great, but not as bad as I expected TBH. It started off a bit bloated, then it seemed a little saggy...but it does go back...if this was the girly section i'd post a pic of mine before I got pregnant with number two, to show you IT CAN go back to normal!
This was me two days after number two....  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Great websites Margerle! Im hoping the gene factor will kick in my case, as my mom had no stretch marks (and she gained over 70 lbs with my older sister!) and my sister has one miniscule one after she gave birth to my niece! Im clean so far, so Im keeping my fingers crossed! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I was a bit worried too, but I dont have much of a bump yet anyway, and no stretchmarks so Im doing ok so far. Hopefully it wont be too hard to go back to my old jeans!

I'm Currently Feeling: | I was clean with stretchmarks until 33 weeks.
Now I have some on the right side of the bump on bottom (where the head is) and on my hips. I was HOPING I would not get any since my mom didn't have a single one, but no dice.
Now I am pretty much sitting here with my belly soaked in Bio-Oil hahaha... |

Mine soaks in Palmers 3 times a day... I've got a couple under the bump and two more on my side (on my hip) where my ass spread faster than my skin could.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | In all honesty, some of those bellies scared me  and I hope (and think) that mine won't be as bad as some of them.
But what is really nice to see is when women post pictures of their babies and then you realize that everything you go through is so worth it just to hold that little person in your arms. |
