Stretch marks and hemorrhoids

At risk of sounding like a smug bitch (and apologies in advance if I do) I'm currently 35 weeks and have no stretch marks or hemorrhoids, have I got away with it (I'm not too concerned if stretch marks appear but hemorrhoids sound awful) or is there still time?

Stretch marks

This weekend my kitten got out and I did TONS of walking to find her. The walking caused my little one to drop. I noticed how low he was mid Sunday and today...

6+2 and feeling absolutely awful

Had the day off work, was sick first thing this morning and have been feeling so nauseous and exhausted all day. Just woken up from a nap and now I have period type cramps too. Hate feeling like this! Maybe I need to ask for anti sickness tablets?
