I'm 25+5 Ftm And I Despise My Sperm Donor. I Love My Baby Girl But The Creature That Made Her Could Go Die For All I Care. I'm Married To Her Daddy Now. Though He Isn't Her Real Father, He Has Done Everything For Me And Loves Her More Than Life Itself. (: Good Luck If Your Not With Your Baby Daddy, There Are Way Better Men Out There!

I didn't start showing till 26 weeks but even now I can get away with looking not pregnant at 28 weeks

I'm 22 weeks & feel like I just look fat lol! In maternity clothes I kinda look pregnant cuz they're not as tight as my normal clothes (which I'm still squeezing into). I'm using Palmers Coco Butter mixed with this stuff (my boss swears by, she said it helped her C-Section scar almost dissappear) called Skin Again. It's kinda pricey but I have noticed my stretch marks aren't as noticeable when I use it daily or 2 times a day . I'm hoping once I have my baby & I lose the weight they won't be as noticeable also.

There's nothing you can do about stretch marks. It's a hereditary thing. If you get em you get em If not you're lucky lol

With my first I didn't get a belly until 24-25 weeks with this one I had it around 16 weeks and now at 31 weeks everyone says I look like I'm ready to pop... As long as drcisnt worried I'd enjoy being small because it doesn't last long

First time mother as well, 21wks & 1day, its normal not to show as much as you think you should cause everyone is different, some women dont show even up tell their 25/26/27th week. For strechmarks im using coco butter but I know other women use some type of oil as well & they say that works too. As to my babies father, well I don't hate him but he does **** me off a lot. Congrats mama & goodluck :)
