Stretch marks😩

Okay ladies. I know some of you will feel one way, while others will feel the same as me.

Heres the deal: I am 26 weeks pregnant with baby numero dose.

I am severely self conscious so naturally I'm aware of all the changes.

Going into both pregnancies, I knew what to do to aid and prevent stretch marks. With my first I was almost 100% successful. I only earned stripes on my hips. It was no big deal and not the end of the world for me.

With this one, so far there are none and I'm working hard to keep it that way. I have a daily ritual and I seldom veer off from it.

Of course the husband said something about it. I said I just don't want stretch marks, he says hes sad about it because he likes them. Even said he wishes I would stop the ritual so I can still get them.

This upset me. Because he doesn't support my desire to not have them, hes actively upset about it.

But this is my body, not his... and on the rare occasion I find confidence to go swimming, I might want to wear a 2 piece, and I don't want stretch marks to be the focal point.

I told him pretty much this. He didn't like that either.

Am I wrong for feeling this way??

@Samantha: my mother was covered in stretch marks, I only got them on my hips. As for the husband, hes not being supportive of ME, hes mad I don't want them because HE likes them. That is not support, that is selfish. And he knows my background so him acting this way hurts a little more.

I don't care that I'm growing a child, I don't need stretch marks to be proud of my accomplishments. I will spend the rest of my life being proud of my child, thank you.
