For some reason I don't have any new ones! I don't get it, lol, by the time I was this big with DD, I had 5 or 6. I just rub lotion on my belly every day, nothing special. It didn't help last time, though!

Stretch marks are genetic, I use palmers coco butter and shea butter and lansinoh, it helps to keep your tummy moist so the skin stretches easily. No Scratching, it makes them worse, if they itch put some lotion on them.

My aunt had dreams of giving birth to kittens, its usually your hormones that make your dreams more vivid. Its obviously something you worry about so your subconscious is finding a way to deal with it.

Just keep the skin that is stretching, moisturized but honestly, I have yet to see anything that actually works to prevent them since it depends on your skin's structure through genetics.

but..... I tanned a bit after my last child and it reduced the appearance by a lot and I slathered on vitamin E oil. I was almost to the point where unless you were really looking, you wouldn't know they were there LOL

Quoting [♥Permanent♥]:" Had anyone else been experiencing recurring nausea? I feel like I have morning sickness all over again. My appetite is GONE"

Here! Ugh I feel like I'm about to puke sometimes!

I am so heart broken for my friend, she lost her son on Tuesday, he was 20 days old and doing really well. It's not fair this is the second baby that she's lost to MOPD1

due september 28th and having a little boy  

Apparently my low dose antibiotic doesnt work.   I was up all night in pain and went to the ob this morning. I have blood in my urine and there pretty sure its another infection.
