Well I prayed to the stretch marks Gods that I would make it through my entire pregnancy without one.. I use lotions and bio oils and apparently my body is destined to get them. When I saw them for the first time I cried for about ten minutes alone in my bathroom mirror. I told my husband that I am not feeling so pretty and that I just want them to go away or I will never wear a bathing suit again. He calls them my battle wounds and tells me its all for the baby and that after she arrives they should lighten up a bit. I know I sound silly but I need to learn coping skills to deal with these stretch marks, the weight gain and learning how to overcome these obstacles. I figured I would show my stretch marks off and that this could possibly help to make me feel a since of relief. I know mother's everywhere at one point or another have dealt with stretch marks and I am curious to know how some of my followers dealt with this. I need to be honest I am so missing the gym, my healthy diet of 1200 calories and being able to do every day things such as cleaning the house or putting on my own socks and shoes -YES my husband has been having to help me do these things. I am a high risk pregnancy and over the last few weeks things have been getting worse. I am only 4'11 and the way my daughter is resting has been causing me some discomfort. I was told today that I need to avoid the stairs now until the end of my pregnancy and no more washing my own laundry. I feel I am putting a lot of pressure on my husband and I know he doesn't mind but I of course feel bad. We have about six more weeks to go and I am hoping they fly by I can't wait to see my daughter's face and somewhat get my body back. If any of my followers have any suggestions how you dealt with your stretch marks any words of wisdom or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
