I am worried about getting
stretch marks this time around because,
a) I had The Bean at
34 weeks in my last pregnancy so never got to that 'huge' stage that happens in the last month
b) I have stretch marks on my back from when I grew really fast at 13 years old, so am obviously prone to them
c) My twin sister has them from her first pregnancy which went full term
It's a shame because I did wear a bikini last summer and felt marginally OK in it, but all accounts from my friends with stretch marks say their bikini days are over. Should I invest in some expensive stretch mark creme? Probably not but I will anyway because I know i'll feel miserable if I do get them. If anyone can send me a sure fire remedy i'd be eternally grateful!
