Weird bum stretchmarks (possibly tmi lol)


Please see below diagram of my er... rear... as accidentally seen in the bathroom mirror 30 minutes ago...

(nb. purple lines may, in places, represent several larger/smaller stretchmarks & my body is certainly NOT that slim at the moment haha)



Whilst I know stretchmarks tend to turn up with considerable weight gain (which I am currently participating in) I cannot for the life of me explain why there are stretchmarks actually appearing to come out of one side of ... ... the middle of my bum basically haha - like its some form of stretchmark epicentre .
For some unknown reason I don't have marks on my front just back!
Possibly something to do with the old wives tale that you carry weight on the back if your having a girl... hmm...

Anyone else have stretchmarks on their bum/legs?? Or am I doing something really wrong? xx

Yeah, I've got those too from my first pregnancy! I gained a lot of weight, and I think that's why.

Not much you can do about them, but you're not alone!

I don't think its just from weight gain as preg women carry excess fluid around the body too so maybe some has retained in those areas whilst being preg?!?

Haha yeah Only one week left at work to ensure I'm still in my trousers then I'm going to become a hermit for the rest of my pregnancy

As for the fluid retention, that would be nice as I imagine I'd lose that faster after the birth than fat... but given the amount I've been eating I think I can only dream hehe x

I have stretchmarks in the exact same places as you! none on the front of my body, just the backs of my calves, upper thighs and bum. I'm having a girl too.
