I got minimal marks with DD 17months ago. I'm now 34 weeks with DC2 and I think I'm
Getting smaller ones on top of the ones I have. (Around my belly button only) and they
Are starting to feel sore to touch. I also have an old piercing here so the skin is thin.
And have a linea nigra which has pigmented my skin. This will go. And I cream everyday
Just wondered how I can try to ease them a abit? Also baby is ALL front, ridiculously all front
So a lot of pressure on my original small frame

I'm a couple of weeks behind you and waiting to see what will happen to me this time - I didn't get any til 38 weeks last time (they faded v v fast) so who knows!

Both my pgs have been very "fronty" too, and I only got them on my belly, despite having them other places from teenage growth spurts.

I got them in about the last month with DS. I'm now 40+4 with DS2 and rather annoyed that four new marks have appeared this week having not had any new til then!!

I got them really bad with DS1, thighs, behind my knees,and calves, boobs, hips and a tiny amount on my bellly by belly button which I believe I got in labour as wernt there before. I'm now 38weeks(tomorrow) with DS2 and not had anymore touch wood, but I was very big with DS1, I gained something like 4 stone, went from size 8 to size 14. I'm now only gone from size 6-8 to max a 12. Majority are a bit big. So not as big but a few times I've felt my scar on belly button stretching.my old ones are still white so not gone red yet.apart from a couple on my boobs x

Yeah with DD I didn't have any until I was over due- how typical..!

I was 52kgs before dd, then 57kgs, then 59, now 69kgs. 34weeks yesterday.
I feel that if I never had a stupid belly piercing, they wouldn't feel
So sore on my belly button.

Baby is sooooo frontal its so tight!

I know its a small price to pay and they did fade after dd when
The linea nigra went. Just the sore feeling that's annoying.

*envy to those who don't get any! X
