I totally understand how anxious you must be feeling right now, sweetie. For me, the bloating started very early, like week 4 itself. Sending you so much love and a big tight hug.
Oh dear! Is it because you've been holding heavy grocery bags full of mid-night snack cravings? Jokes apart, sleeping on one side can also cause this, but do check with your doctor if it persists.
From a practical side, week 37 is safe, so plan your maternity leave starting around week 36 to be safe.
Listen to me, stretch marks are completely normal and they are like beautiful tiger stripes showing the miracle you did! They will naturally fade from red/purple to light silver over time. Just use a good moisturizer or bio-oil daily to keep your skin hydrated, but don't stress over them.
Oh yes, it is absolutely contraindicated. Please don't take it under any circumstances. Check with your doctor immediately, they will guide you on safe medicines.
