Baby on the way

[Bikini Mod]

yikes! - what about stretch marks. Did anyone have problems with those on their bellies? Ways to prevent this?

I dont mind wearing a one piece suit - but i do not want any on my breasts. At least I want to try my best to prevent them anyway

LOL

... as if any of us WANTED stretch marks or saggy boobs or loose skin!

Stretchmarks come from the inside (the deepest layers of the skin) and work their way outward and not the other way around so there is NOTHING that you can apply topically that will affect the process UNLESS the product will be absorbed through all eight layers.

Genetics play a role. Your age when you become pregnant is also a factor. How well you remain hydrated throughout your pregnancy as hydration helps with skin health and elasticity.

There is only one product that I am aware of that you can obtain WITHOUT a perscription that penetrates all the layers of the skin and that is emu oil.

awesome...good to hear. are you doing anyting in particular? extra water, oil....keep us updated okay?

 

[Heart of Steel]

Nope, not doing anything special besides my normal habit of moisturizing nightly after bathing and drinking plenty of water. I think I'm fortunate to have inherited my grandmother's good skin genes .

Just checking in with an update and saying hi. I'm happy to say that I'm still feeling great and working out regularly with no problems. I won't be swimming as often now since the weather is getting colder and I'll miss that but I just can't stand being wet and cold so I'll just do more walking instead.

awwww good to hear from ya! Keep us updated!

 

[Bikini Mod]

Good to hear from you. Please do keep us informed of your progress.

Hi Ladies, Well it's getting close to my due date so I thought I would pop in with an update. I'm doing very well and feeling great besides for the fact that the baby has dropped and now I walk like a waddling duck, . Anyway, I'm still able to enjoy the modified yoga every morning and I'm still walking, um waddling, every evening. I plan to continue all the way up to the day if I can.

LOL@waddling, how I remember it well. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise there is NO REASON why you can't remain as active you FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING until the day you deliver. Just remember, that when you do deliver don't kill yourself to get back. Enjoy this short time and rest as much as your baby will allow. Accept EVERYONE'S offer for help LOL and when you are up to it take the baby for walks and slowly build up from there.

Thank you for the update. We can't wait to see baby pics!

He's here . That's him in the avatar. My labor was soooo easy, only three hours! 8 lbs 4 oz., 21inches long. Mom and baby are both happy and healthy

I would like to say thank you to everyone for your support and good wishes during my pregnancy.
