Not a huge problem but....stretch marks on your.....

[treedelivery]

Inner thighs. Not over hips and all the usual places, but from your inner knees up. I Look like a bear whoose stuffing will pop out as the stitching has gone!

Thought I was alone, but mentioned it elsewhere and someone else had them too.

So whats all this about then!? Ok, so I am 20 kgs heavier with this dd than dd1, but is this not a tad much!? Can't I get normal cellulite instead of rent marks! YAK!

Has anyone developed them in pregnancy and does pushing make them worse?

bump

I am alone with my stretch marks. Sob.

I have awful stretch marks on the top of my thighs.

Hope that makes you feel better

I have/had stretch marks everywhere, i was underwieght when i fell pg with ds1 and my strech marks got so bad my skin on my huge bump ripped and got very sore. I also got them on my thighs/boobs/bum and 'other bits' they have faded now thank god. My midwife said its the worst case she had ever seen - i feel so special............................ not.

I think I may have spotted 'other bits' marks too! But I can't really see anything at all so might be hallucinating.

Dear God!! I'm not vain but I'm not impressed either.

tree, I'm with you on the stretch marks in an unbelievable location

I have them everywhere. Backs of knees and all. I look ok dressed

I asked my midwife if they were there and she giggled. What happened to my nubile frisky svelt self? Never had them till month ago, and they are soooo red. Trying to keep sense of humour.

She asks this question from bed, on lap top, trogging on cheese and biscuits.

Are you 'unbelievable locations' your muffs? Because I have a few there I have them everywhere. I was doing well until week 36 ish with DS1 then they popped up in their millions.

Sorry for lowering the tone!

ah treedelivery, I sympathise. I so far have only got boob stretchies, but I DO have varicose veins in my fanjo already.. and sadly I know they will DEFINITELY get worse with pushing. Does that help? if not, sorry for the TMI...

I've seen a lot of muffs, fanjo's and all of the above in my time [midwife not pornstar] but have never noticed this before. Shows how little notice health proffs take of such things.

Will be on look out now though!

stretch marks. Have noticed the veins however. Ouch.

So - moving away from the inner thigh problem and moving up. Where does this leave us with waxing and bikini lines!? Would seem there may be a value in having a full coverage these days.

Is this getting way to yak?

i have them on my hips down my calves on the backs of my knees, under arms, and i wasnt a heavy mum, just average weight i think its luck, but sure they r worth it

try bio oil it does help a bit

mine are in the crease where the leg joins the ahem, lady area. criiinge. I only found them after my last pregnancy. stupidly pointed them out to DP.

Tree I have them on my boobs, lower stomach, on the very top of my left leg (groin area), down both sides from waist to thigs, inner thighs, back of both legs at the top, back of both knees and finally both calves.

I got stretch marks everywhere very early on due to very quick weigt gain except for the stomach ones which came on from 38w onwards and were exacerbated by the fact that DD decided to hang in there an extra 11 days.

On the positive side though I have lost all the weight within 3 months of her birth and although the marks are still there they are all much less visible although the stomach ones are pitted and the boob ones are creped but at least already silvery.

Thats an impressive list lollipopmother - if I may say so!

See it's all coming out now! Expecting to hear from Angelina Jolie at al and day now, bet she's riddled!
