Is this a stretch mark?!

[hopingandprayingthistime]

I am only nineteen weeks and a little raised pink line has appeared on my stomach like a scratch... is this a stretch mark?! I didn’t realise they would start so soon! I have been using oil.

I don’t meant to sound vain, I am of course very grateful to be pregnant and realise there will be some physical changes to my body as a result of this miracle I am experiencing.

Sounds like it.

Yeh sounds like one. I've used palmers cocoa butter everyday through both pregnancies and only got one tiny stretch mark which appeared after I gave birth first time.

I'm not sure lotions and potions really work and I think it's probably more down to genetics as to whether you'll get them or not!

19 weeks! I am doomed...!

Yes it's genetics and skin type. I didn't have any until 30 weeks and then I got millions of them. Don't feel doomed - you're growing a person! Your body is amazing!
