Lol. You're sweet. After my first pregnancy it came right back to normal, no stretch marks or anything but after my 10 lber I permanently have a saggy belly button and stretch marks around my belly button- you can't see it here but it really bothers me...here's to hoping for a smaller baby so the stretch marks don't get worse.

My tummy looks like an albino zebra with a kangaroo pouch due to my first stretching me past the point of snapping back... and the too-low belly button to complete the ensemble, lol. It's really a sad sight lol.

Aww! Bunnygirl you are so cute! I kinda feel for you though... those stretchmarks are looking kinda angry and I know, for me at least, when they get angry that's when they start itching but it feels like I set my tummy on fire if I scratch! Hopefully not the same for you though. I'm hoping to bypass that this round but I think it's just a pipe dream lol.

I haven't reached the itchy stahe yet, but I'm sure it's coming soon. That's probably the worst thing about pregnancy!

I have really bad vein and swelling issues especially when I'm pregnant. With my first it was really bad in my left ankle but only towards my 3rd trimester and with my 2nd nearly non existent (boy girl thing maybe?) but I'm only 20 weeks and already I'm having bad swelling in my left ankle I am so sad it's starting so early- I'm on my feet ALL of the time- how the heck am I supposed to keep it under control?

I'm with you, two! My belly is so not camera ready after 3 full terms. I was unfortunately not blessed with one of those bodies that bounces back in the least. Saggy skin, fat pooches that never go away and stretch marks to high heaven. I've already decided that my 45th birthday present to myself will be a tummy tuck. It's not vanity at this point--it's reconstructive surgery!

I would too if I could afford it!! If I won the lotto that would be among the first 10 things I would do... after paying off my mortgage, student loans, etc.

I'm planning on getting a mommy makeover after the twins. It will probably be 12-18 months afterward because they want you close to your goal weight first. I dread the recovery though. It's around three months of no lifting after a tummy tuck. It seems completely unrealistic with small children at home. I need a live-in maid and nanny to do everything for me. LOL

Wish I had some workable advice My feet and ankles swelled SOOOO bad with my first. They were so swollen that they looked like if I poked them with a needle they would pop like a balloon. Unfortunately, the only way I was ever able to get the swelling to go down at all is to spend the entire day with my feet up. Then the next day they would swell right back up if I went about my daily business. Delivery is the only thing that got them to stop because I couldn't sit with my feet up all day long. I still swear that between the rapid weight gain (about 5 pounds a week), swelling, borderline BP, etc. that I was verging on PE but my doc never showed any concern, even when I would express concern. Of course I now know that that doc should not even be allowed to practice but... that's a whole other story. Bottom line is unless your OB has any ideas I don't think there is anyway around it and it's just something you'll have to put up with until birth unfortunately Hugs!

I've always wished I could do like some mommy's do and get their tummy fixed DURING the c/s. For one I'd already be recovering anyway so no big difference plus my little kangaroo pouch always makes my scare hurt while healing because it can't get the air it needs to heal and the sweat (my boys were both born during heat waves) makes it burn something awful.
