Stretch marks
So I’m 28 weeks and have been enjoying my pregnancy. But I can’t seem to get over how bad my stretch marks are on my lower tummy. Whenever I see other pregnant women’s bump pics online I get so jealous they don’t have them. I know it’s genetics (i’ve used bio oil religiously & it doesn’t make a difference). I guess i’m not necessarily looking for advice, more venting and seeing if anyone else is experiencing this. Thanks for reading 🩷

Body changes are so difficult! It's been much harder for me this time, my previous pregnancy I had trouble gaining weight and having my daughter be growth restricted. I guess since my body has been through it before I've been gaining weight like crazy. My belly button pops out and it makes me feel not so great, and this time my boobs have actually gotten bigger unlike the first time or from breastfeeding, so I've gotten stretch marks there and my nipples being much darker and leaking have me feeling insecure AND extremely uncomfortable. I hate feeling like I have to hide my boobs and try to wear something to keep my belly button from being super noticeable. And on top of that I might have gestational diabetes so this last trimester and I are not friends 😣
