I am obviously pleased to be pregnant, albeit a little scared about having 2dc. But I am getting fed up with the following at 20 weeks, ffs I'm only halfway:

  1. Stretch marks have started.
  1. Teenage skin - spots all over my neck, chest and back. Thankfully it has been raining for months and I haven't had to bare any skin.
  1. Where is my sex drive? Last time Dh thought it was Christmas and birthday all at once, this time I don't want him to touch me. Ever.
  1. My fanjo feels like it is going to fall out.
  1. Why is my bump so huge already? I feel like a blimp.
  1. Bloody maternity bras that give you droopy boobs with visible nipples. Nice.

Erm, that's all for now. Anybody care to add to the list?

I found my first stretch mark and I'm 18 weeks. That sent me scurrying to find some 'stretch mark prevention' oil.

And I second you on the horrible skin breakout. I have more bumps now than I ever did as a teenager!

Oh, and sex drive? What's that?

I managed to avoid stretch marks right up to the end first time round and only have a few on my stomach. I wasn't happy to see the fiery red marks so early this time.

Red marks - eek! Mine have appeared as little white lines on the side of my hips... I'm very pale so really hope they don't go red!

Yep, on my enormous bump. There are also white ones but I think they are there from last time.

I also have white ones on my hips but they have been there since puberty.
