When my belly cream doesn’t work I use extra virgin olive oil and tap it instead of scratching i barely have 3 small baby stretch marks atm but I’m also 30 weeks and who knows how much bigger I’ll get

I lather up with Bio Oil every night. I read that itchy skin is a sign of the skin needing moisture from the stretching, so I’ve been using so much oil! This oil is my favorite and smells SO GOOD I suggest it 100%

I use stretch cream whenever I'm itchy and every time I shower. Expensive but worth it in my humble opinion https://www.stretcheal.com/

I hydrate a ton, and i use coconut oil or sweet almond oil on my belly. If it’s really itchy, I use glysomed (unscented high glycerin hand cream).

So I’m now officially 22 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m still yet to feel him move. I had my 20 week scan not last week but the week before and everything seemed fine but have a repeat scan tomorrow due to not getting a proper measurement of his face. I’ve been told I have an anterior placenta too. Should I start getting worried yet ?? With my first baby my placenta was at the back and I felt him move around the 20 week mark. I’m just really paranoid as I have fertility issues as it is and have had miscarriages in the past and I’m classed as a high risk pregnancy with this one as I have strep B and I had gestational hypertension and pre eclampsia with my first baby so I’m on shared care with this pregnancy and I’m also on aspirin too which was prescribed by the hospital to take to prevent with this pregnancy.

I said what I said

I’m on some other shit this Summer. I’m really about to not give a fk about nobody’s feelings. People played in my face this whole pregnancy. Im fkn on one all summer 2026!!! Whoever don’t feel me Fk em !!!! That goes for Family, friends, and this ninja!!!

Is everyone just done now and ready for baby or not there yet?

If you’ve had enough and ready how far along are you?

I’m 37 weeks and starting to get more uncomfortable but enjoying it generally not at the end of my tether yet but I fear it may be just around the corner according to everyone else? Haha

How u doing mamas?

Did anyone else like accidentally let their good eating habits go down the drain pp?

I tried to be a health nut while pregnant and every time I’m pregnant I’m making sure I’m eating fruits and veggies with every meal, trying not too eat too much processed foods or just junk but the second I pop I find it hard to integrate veggies and fruits into meals all over again. It’s so much easier to make sure my son eats healthy and I always pair his meals with fruits and veggies. It was always easy to just eat the same things as him and stay healthy but now it’s like I stopped caring about eating healthy myself. (I’m just always trying to be on my ps and qs while pregnant lol)
