Almost 39 weeks


This is my latest belly bump update...although I feel like it's more like a mountain now, rather than a bump. The doc thinks he will be an April baby, I still hope he is wrong. My tummy is measuring 39 c.m. and Spence found some new stretch marks to vouch for that rapid growth (Right on the underside of my belly) I have been using cocoa butter religiously. Anybody know of some good oils or creams for stretch marks post pregnancy?

I heard that creams with retinol help to stimulate collagen, although check if youre supposed to use them while nursing. And Mederma--the scar medicine-- is supposed to help and you can even start using that now I think. I read that you can start using the creams while the skin is still stretching to help promote collagen growth for when you start to recover. I need to go out and get something, I have like 5 new ones, which is nasty. But i've seen some people with them over their ENTIRE stomach and even their legs and butt so we're still kind of lucky.
