If stretch marks were brains, I’d be freakin’ genius!
Why??!! Why it has to be me? (Fyi, I’m not Oops!-I-did-it-again. Touch wood!) Before I was pregnant, I have this silky and smooth skin on my body. Weighing only 40kg. Pregnancy definitely ruined everything :(.
Imagine if you put on average of 2kg for 9 whole month and by your 40weeks you weight 60kg, the skin on your tummy has already stretchhhhhhh 20 times of it’s originate state. And when it stretches that big, our skin gets thinner and thinner and instead of exploded (kaboom!!!) and all your intestines, baby, womb all splattered on the floor, your body instinct tells your skin to split into small silvery line which is costing damages on the elastic fibres that help skin stretch.
Many women uses various types of creme, lotions, and oils to try to prevent stretch marks from forming. Unfortunately, while such products soothe and soften the skin, there is no medical evidence to prove that they actually work! So beware of advertisers trying to sell you expensive products claiming that they prevent stretch marks! Some women will think that that particular brand of lotion they use is not effective. It’s wrong. Whether you get them or not is simply a matter of genetics… that is, how elastic your skin is. There’s nothing you can do. I used 6 tubes of lotion and by my 3rd trimester….. it turned out pretty…. (go filled in the blank yourself)
This is how it looks like at 30 weeks.
I heard you guys! It’s dem aweful ugly right. This is one of a big sacrifice of motherhood and I haven’t come to other parts of body like thigh or breast.
The saddest part is looking at celebrities or even my girlfriends posing in their 2 pieces bikini. Envy! Envy! and each time when I look at Britney, I’d go “Why? Why it has to be me??!!” 🙁

Aisay…. why you think the camera man took a side portrait of Miss Spears? No photoshop can help if the photo was shot from full front……..
The thing I realised about advices on motherhood – most mothers recommended the Nike slogan – JUST DO IT.
Queen says: I realised hor, a lot ppl anti Miss Spears leh. On second thought, she really looks like cow. wakakakaaaa…

I think brittney is having it hard cuz everyone has nothing better to do but point fingers and shake their heads. Judge and you will be judged, Make fun of, and the same thing you thought was hilarious will happen right back to you. I had my son 2 years ago. I didn’t gain any real weight , i was real skinny to begin with so my stretch marks are crazy ugly. But im thin now so when i go out moms look at me all the time. And what do you know they get jealous cuz im skinny after having a kid. No one ever stops to think that im skinny cuz i was depressed or have an iron deficiency making it hard to have the energy to cook. PPL are asses and love to judge. It makes them feel better. Love yourself the way you are it could be worse.
