Now when I was pregnant I was showing by the time I was 8 weeks. In June of 2012 I was 3 months pregnant and people were shocked to find that I wasn't 5 months along. Initially I made the mistake of believing I would "carry small" because it was my first far progressed pregnancy and my mother "carried small". But that was not to be my fate.
So needless to say my body did some serious expanding. In addition to that, my daughter was a week overdue and I was suffering!! Skin burning and itching non stop.
After I had my little bundle, I dropped down to my original weight which isn't the tiniest number but I yet to see my waist line return to it's original size. SO the weight distribution has definitely changed. So I have some challenges ahead which include making time to work out with the demands of being a new mom. I haven't found that balance yet.
As for stretchmarks yes I do have some though they aren't too severe. The funny thing is I made it all the way to month 9 before I saw a trace of any of them. I do credit their minimal presence to my pregnancy skin regimen. I made a video about it that I posted to Youtube. you can check it out here :

I probably put almost everything on my skin but in the end narrowed it down to this.
