Ode to stretchmarks

Just wanted to share- Of course, since I was so heavy for so many years I have stretchmarks. They aren't horrible, but they are there. Now that I am pregnant with twins, I have noticed new stretchmarks in new places- I figured that wouldn't be possible after how stretched my skin was to begin with- apparently it is! I don't know if I should feel lucky that I have this same problem as pregnant women who have never been overweight or not. Sigh. Just wanted to share my new discovery today. I also have to slather on the Vitamin E oil to keep my skin from flaking off said stretchmarks, which is a joy. Double Sigh. Not sure if anyone else wishes to rant about stretchmarks or something else equally depressing.

I haven't found any new stretch marks- but the skin on my body is such a train wreck, I'm not sure I would notice.  However, I am horribly depressed by the pregnancy zits that have decided to make a new home on my chin.  Acne...at 40, are you frickin kidding me.  Nothing quite like fighting zits on my chin while fighting wrinkles and dry skin on the rest of my face.  God really does have an amazing sense of humor...

mine go side ways instead of up and down! what the hell LOL

My old stretchmarks are re-stretching and they itch so bad that they hurt! Aveeno lotion and coconut oil have been my saviors. I have found too that they are dry and flaky. Oh and they are showing up now on my breasts too and not just my belly - what next, my ass? lol

I was wondering about this too. I figured I souldn't get too many new ones since my skin has already been where it's going. But it appears I may be wrong. I am not super huge yet so I don't know.

My belly is soooooooooo itchy though. Especially around my RNY scars.
