Is this the start of stretch marks?? :(

[AlwaysSeekingComfort]

I’m not even that far gone to be honest, but this is my 2nd and am bigger much sooner this time around.

i have these marks on my belly, they are raised and red. If I put my finger on them they disappear for a couple of seconds til the colour comes back to them (if that makes sense) think it’s called blanching?

are these the start of stretch marks? (with my first I never got any apart from one just above my belly button and was huge at the end.

I mean I know it’s part and parcel but was hoping to avoid them again this time around :(

That looks like a patch of eczema to me from the picture?? Is it itchy?

@2Orangesandlemons hey, yes it is itchy (on and off) it’s been there about a week! (Again that’s why I thought stretch marks because good old google says they start out itchy)

But anyhoo, ive never suffered with eczema? So dont think it’s that? But if it is then great as means it’s not a stretch marks/s
