So throughout my entire pregnancy I've only gained 4 lbs. my doctors aren't concerned because I got diagnosed with hypermesis gravidurum early on in my pregnancy. But even though I've only put on 4lbs since I got pregnant I have gotten stretch marks on my belly extremely bad and they seem to be getting worse everyday. I never got them with my first pregnancy but I also had my first born at 26 weeks. I'm blessed to have made it this far and my main concern is that my son is healthy. But I can't help but feel so emotional and insecure about my stretch marks. Before this pregnancy, I had them everywhere (hips, thighs, calfs, under arms,etc) but the one place I never had them was my belly. Now I have them everywhere. My old ones I'm just now coming to terms with because they're mostly faded but these new ones on my belly are most likely going to take years to fade and I'm scared they'll get worse after I give birth. There's no real purpose to this I guess I just needed to vent. 😔
