hey guys! soo i’m 26w and 4d not sure if that’s the 3rd trimester or not¿? this app says so, but google says other wise!

anywho— i’ve recently gotten so discouraged bc of the toll this pregnancy has taken on my body:/ i don’t have stretch marks on my stomach thus far, but i do on my hips and butt, BAD. they’re not white ones either they’re purple..

i have tons of lotion and oils, but due to me forgetting and not caring enough, i just haven’t been applying it.

at first when i found out i was pregnant i was like “oh i’m gonna exercise, and do this and that and blah blah blah” well i haven’t. although i haven’t gained ‘too much’ weight only 17lbs—if i were to start walking would that help with my body? i’m not trying to lose weight just make it easier once i have my baby, and not gain any more stretch marks! i just want to have a “glow up” after i have her, and be hotter than i was before Lol!
