Yeah...I think I need to buy one...I haven't gained any weight (so far) anywhere--other than the baby and my boobs.

I found stretch marks today on my boobs.

I have been slatherin' them up (along with my belly) twice a day with the Burt's Bees Belly Balm... but I think growing TWO cup sizes has taken it's toll. They are sore, too. TMI?

Anyway, my lower back is achey and always feels pushed in? If that makes sense. It's like it's trying to compensate for the huge 15lb belly I'm packing around! LOL

I would buy one again in a heartbeat!! I was up at 4 this morning because my back hurt too much for me to sleep... I put it on, and it was like a light switch, no pain and right back to sleep! I feel soo much better!!

Gotta love stretch marks! I have never gotten any on my breasts, but I'm noticing them *just* starting on my belly, which means in a week or two my stomach is going to resemble a road map... grrrr!!

Yeah...well, I went from a 34 A to a 36 C!

I just have two on each boob--and just from about an inch out from the insides of each nipple.

Nothing on my belly (yet) but I am beginning to think I'll lose that battle, too.

I have stretch marks everywhere. LOL Have had them since having my DD 12 years ago. Told my DH they're my battle scars!! LOL

Mine are on my hips and thighs. Strangely enough, they left my boobs and belly alone.

Wait until your milk comes in and they get EVEN BIGGER!

Yes unfortunately, I do know! I have had stretch marks since the summer in between 6th and 7th grade. I left 6th grade as a short little girl with no rear end and not much more than skeeter bites as boobs. I entered the 7th grade as the height that I am now at 5'5" with a womanly rear end and a C-cup... I towered over my friends, but they didn't even recognize me at first. It took some insider secrets to clue them in that it was really me!!

That growth spurt left me with stretch marks on the sides of my knees, my inner thighs, outter thighs, a few on the sides of my booty and of course my boobs.. I am hoping with all of my being, that I will be spared of stretch marks on my belly. Can I not be worthy of one square inch unmarked???

All of my others have turned skin tone and blend right in for the most part since it has been so many years. But please, oh please...............

My first pregnancy I went from a 34/36B to a 36EE (almost sent DH out for 36F's but I figured they'd go down soon enough since I wasn't nursing). Try finding those sizes at Walmart!

Delivering sent me up at least two sizes. Of course, my hormone levels were abnormally high so that might have had something to do with it but still...

Good luck!

Oh, and anyone who's not nursing who needs to kill the flow as fast as possible and keep sane from the pain, I have two words for you- Cabage Leaves. Cold cabage leaves are a God Send.

...like in your bra kind of thing? Or am I like way missing something?

And I'm still hoping that the boob fairy will let me be or at least cut me a break during my pregnancy... I'm a natural D cup, on a 5'4" and 102lbs frame (now that I've gained four lbs!

) ...but I really don't think my back would like monster sized boobs, when we will already be having to accommodate for a baby-full belly!
