Hello everyone.
I am overwhelmingly grateful that I am 27 weeks pregnant with my first baby. It's been a hard journey to get here, with three miscarriages in a year, and I feel awful for worrying about something as trivial as stretch marks but the truth is they are bothering me.
At the moment I only have two small ones on my belly and I'm not really worried too much how many I get there. However, I am retaining a ridiculous amount of water which has caused my legs and feet to swell and I have developed loads of them on the inside of my knees!
I know a lot of it is down to genetics and they will fade over time but has anyone used anything that has visibly improved them quickly? I've heard body lotions with retinol are good but a big no no at the moment. Which lotions could I buy in the future?
I am eating at least five fruit and veg a day, taking fish oils and staying dehydrated. Any advice is appreciated
