This is just a temporary phase of pregnancy, and your body is doing beautiful work. Keep your feet elevated, drink coconut water, and take rest. Stay positive, keep chanting your prayers, and everything will be fine.

I had a C-section and got quite a few stretch marks around my lower belly. Gently massaging cocoa butter helped fade them slowly during postpartum recovery. Be patient with your body, it takes time.

Yes, totally normal. Drinking lots of water really helped clear up mine.

I had regular cramping in my early weeks, but because of my thyroid history, I kept a close follow-up with my doctor. It's usually just implantation or stretching, but do mention it to your gynac to be safe.

I also had a lot of anxiety about trying again after my D&C. Did anyone else feel scared that it might take longer the second time?
