Looks are deceiving

That saying has a strong meaning.

Going through out my pregnancy I never really had bad stretch marks until I started to get larger. They are not on my stomach like most people exspect them to be,no. That is odd that I don't, but they are in other places.

I have small ones on my arms. But they are mostly located in the leg area in the very back and going down my hips. I put stretch mark cream on everyday when I get dressed or get out of the shower.But last night looking in the mirror,I was in awe when I looked at my backside. There were pink and purple lines going down from the top of my tail bone,down to the calf of my leg. I NEVER noticed them before. They must have came up upon me during the middle of the night while I was sleeping.

When I was younger. I would see my mom with her stretch marks on her tummy and I would always ask her where she had got them. She told me that she had gotten them when she was pregnant with my sister and I. I hear women say that stretch marks are ugly and if they could get rid of them they would. Well they are not something that you can get rid of,unless by some miracle you find a great plastic surgeon or they blend into your skin. No, women will get them no matter how much they complain,because that is the way that god created our bodies to be. He created us to get stretch marks.Not only women but men to,its a growth factor also.

I used to think about the future when I was little and when I would be pregnant for the first time and have my own child. I also knew that going through the whole 9 month procedure I would accumulate these lines of purple. In my own opinion, I think stretch marks are cool. They show that a woman went through pain the bring a little baby into this world and also they worked hard. I don't think I would ever get rid of mine. Just because it is a branded mark,doesn't mean that they're ugly.
