I’m 22 weeks and I didn’t believe people when they spoke about “popping” until i woke up yesterday morning with a baby bump I hadn’t had the day before. It got bigger throughout the day and at night I felt like my skin couldn’t stretch anymore and I could barely breath and saw some redness. Today I’ve noticed tiny red stretch marks literally covering my *whole* stomach. I couldn’t be happier with this pregnancy my little girl means the world to me already she’s my first so I didn’t know how my body would react since obviously stretch marks are genetic.

Anyway, I don’t know how to feel. I already hate how my body looks and obviously stretch marks don’t look great but they are a symbol of how incredible our bodies are that we grew a literal human.
