Seriously - my lower stomach feels like a drum! I can barely stand up straight and I found my first stretch mark today. Aaargh!

Just a whinge really, feel free to ignore!

How many weeks are you babyig? I'm 24+2 and already feeling very stretched... biooil seems to help have you tried it? Don't think it will realistically make any difference with stretch marks but makes you FEEL less stretched IYSWIM.

If you're happy in water, try to find an ante-natal swimming class - this might make you feel a bit less stretched as the water takes the weight of the baby off you for a time ad sometimes the baby alters their position inside you .

Am also feeling very stretched. Can recommend 'mum to be' gift set from the Sanctury. Again, not sure it helps with the stretch marks but the body butter in particular helps me feel less stretched.

make sure you're drinking lots of water, as well
you may feel less like drinking plain water or cold drinks with the low temps at the mo, but staying well hydrated may well help you loads.
