HAHA!! Oooppps! Better proofread before I submit my messages! i am sure you do have a very nice bum Emma, but I was talking about your bump. LOL!!!

Loving all the pictures!!! Georgie you are looking hot as ever !!!!!!! I understand what you were saying about feeling the weight .. I did with Chloe .. and boy was it uncomfy at the end .. it felt if I sneezed she would shoot out !!!!

i literally look like a zebra lol id take a pic if i was so embarssed :p but i got them onims all around my belly button

Leanne, once dh is at home tomorrow, I will get you some pics of my strectch marks. I had a skin disease which started at the end of may last pregnancy called PUPPP. It stands for pruritic urticarial plaques and papules of pregnancy. It started off as tiny blisters in the stretch marks and continued for 3 months post partum. I scratched until I bled and it literally kept me awake at night more than baby. Of course, it has left scarring as it spread from head to toe so my stretch marks looks hideous. Apparently it's so rare, the consultant dermatologist had to look it up in a book!

I can really feel my abdominal wall strectching out now and my fundus is just below my navel now so I think once it gets past that point, I will just pop right out and look huge. Will get some pics, but will get dh to do them for me.

I don't know if this site has been posted here before or not, but Leanne, maybe you want to check out Shape of a Mother? It is a website where all sorts of ladies submit pics of their bellies and bodies during pregnancy and after. You will see you are not alone. Hope that helps!

well here is my 4 week after birth pic lovely huh lol atlest she worth it

Leanne, I don't think they look too bad. They do fade over time, I promise. It is quite a shock though when you see yourself for the first time after the birth, I was horrified with my frankenstein style staples as well.

Oh Leanne I really feel for you I really do but please have faith in the fact Emma is right they will fade my Best friend got stretch marks in the last 3 weeks of her pregnancy rather simular to yours and now 1 year on you seriously can hardly see them. x

yes,I second that,actually,believe it or not,my worst stretch marks were from breast feeding around my nipples.They were like huge cracks,angry and purple looking,but you know what,I had them with both babies and BOTH times they have COMPLETELYvanished,I still have the ones around my hips but the ones around my boobs have magically just gone.Perhaps it was the breast milk getting on them,either way,maybe try and rub a few drips of Breast milk on them everyday and see if it help.I wish I had done this with my other ones,because it must have worked on my boobs,when I say 'gone' I mean you can look with a miscroscope and see nothing but perfect skin! :O amazing stuff! LOL

lol i would my every drop of breast milk is important atm still having problems with breastfeeding

Here is my week 10 bump.
