Feeling a bit sorry for myself, especially as this is likely just the first of many ...
I'm 23 weeks and my bump has got a lot bigger in the last couple of weeks. I feel ginormous and as of this morning I have a 1-2 inch red mark just below and to the right of my belly button.
I'm telling myself all the usual stuff about it's not important, no one will see it, it's worth it for the baby, etc. I'm not vain at all normally, but it's made me a bit gloomy that my body is literally getting so huge it is stretching apart :(
So, is there anything I can do to stop stretchmark gaining lots of friends? Already drinking loads of water and using bio oil twice a day.
Any miracle cures or just have to suck it up?
