Belly Pics...Warning: Gross Stretch Marks!

Kelly · 09-14-2005, 03:24 PM

Some new bare belly pics, I haven't done any in a while because my belly isn't "cute" anymore. It's nasty covered in stretch marks!

Ugh!

I know how you feel, i hate mine they seemed to appear overnite, i still hate them but at least they are not so noticable now

bigdoglover · 09-14-2005, 04:51 PM

Have you tried Cocoa Butter lotion? It worked great on mine...they were gone by the time my boy was 2 months old,....I used it as soon as the marks appeared, everyday. It also helped with the "itchy belly"...just a thought!!

Giny · 09-14-2005, 05:50 PM

Oooh bigdoglover, I totally forgot of the itchy belly. How I hated that feeling!

Kelly you look wonderful! What great memories your are creating for later. I was so afraid to pose my belly back then and now I regret it. I love how your cockateil is on your shoulder. hehe!

bigdoglover · 09-14-2005, 05:55 PM

LOL Ginny....it has been hard for me to forget, even though it was 6 years ago!! My boy was a healthy 10 pounds at birth....2 weeks late....and I was in labor for 26 hours!! ugh....I didn't take any belly pics, either, and now I wish I did as well!

LOL you had me beat! Mine was 10 years ago, he was 9 pounds and labor was 20 hours.

I think we're going to scare Kelly!

Crossfire Bulldogs · 09-14-2005, 06:08 PM

Ugh, the dreaded stretch marks.

My first was 9 lbs. 11 oz. and 10 hours labor followed by an emergency c-section.

Libelle · 09-14-2005, 06:14 PM

I got so big so fast my skin on the belly split *sobs*

28 hours and an emergency c section later...lol...and we mustn't forget them letting my epidural run out in the middle of pushing...twice

I'll shut up now...lmao

Kelly · 09-14-2005, 06:37 PM

I use the coco butter lotion all the time. I guess my skin is just prone to SM's.

kazkirkpatrick · 09-14-2005, 07:39 PM

I was a 10 plus pounder, and 2 weeks early at that, my poor momma. She didnt get stretch marks though, that was my little brothers job

linnie · 09-15-2005, 03:02 AM

My lee was 9lb and I got the stretch marks to prove it lol
Kelly wear them with pride... you will soon have the most amazing and precious gift in your arms. Nothing in the world moves me as much as a new babe born.

BTW have we got a book going on what sex bub is going to be?
I say GIRL lol

Kelly · 09-15-2005, 04:47 AM

He's a boy...LOL...We found out we were having a little Davey on April 26th...I thought I told you all. Maybe in my excitement I forgot...

It's so funny how each of us has a "birthing story"!! I think it could be a seperate thread topic all on it's own!! LOL

Kelly, I think I speak for us all when I say I hope everything goes smooth and easy for you!! I'm not going to give advice, as it's easier said than done!! But with all of us having the experience, if you ask a question, no doubt you will be barraged (sp?) with answers!!

I wish the best for you and your family!!

AstraChapman · 09-15-2005, 07:17 AM

I can't wait till I get pregnant. I am so excited for the opportunity. Stretch Marks and all. I can't wait.

theGOOCH · 09-15-2005, 07:38 AM

I wouldn't worry about the stretch marks. My wife has them about the same as yours in spite of using the cocoa butter (there is no scientific evidence showing that that stuff does anything). I have stretch marks from weightlifting, big deal
