I have cried myself to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we've been arguing during the pregnancy a lot. After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn't have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me once and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy. I was really upset and I needed help, so I searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Ahmed can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and I did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my boyfriend came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Ahmed. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com call him on: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home. I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399939590894367798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40657211281649935.post-89520052899787001782017-09-22T00:58:53.066-07:002017-09-22T00:58:53.066-07:00I've always had stretch marks and had no idea ...I've always had stretch marks and had no idea why dl I've just learnt to deal with them slowly they still effect me a little bit but I learnt something recently that has helped. One of my friends is close to having her baby 👶🏼 and she's got quite a few stretch marks over her weeks but quite cutely she refers to them as life lines, she sees them as more of a positive that they are a physical sign of the amazing thing her body is doing. 💖 Kim K Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650644808311082745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40657211281649935.post-49105881179649889352017-09-21T14:27:42.242-07:002017-09-21T14:27:42.242-07:00Oh man, I have no words as I have not experienced ...Oh man, I have no words as I have not experienced this to give adequate advice. However, I will say - many friends have expressed similar (if not the same) types of worry when they were pregnant.....and ya know what? It all turns out okay. Even if your body doesn't work the same (and it will work) it will be working in tune to meet your baby's needs. Any pain / recovery time will all be forgotten. <br /><br />Side note - THE ONLY PERSON who ever told me they remembered how horrible child birth is....was, in fact, my mother. That's why I'm an only child lol<br /><br />Congrats my friend. You'll be magic!Evetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473652657925310490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40657211281649935.post-60225213891030063262017-09-21T10:34:50.121-07:002017-09-21T10:34:50.121-07:00I'm sorry to hear the stretch marks set you ba...I'm sorry to hear the stretch marks set you back a bit.

No idea if true.) If you need advice, I would recommend Gala Darling's website; she is brilliant! And maybe don't read the childbirth horror stories any more...<br /><br />Lydia XOLydia Wilkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570799582621190309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40657211281649935.post-75503033250811067752017-09-21T10:11:03.180-07:002017-09-21T10:11:03.180-07:00I'm so sorry to hear that your stretch marks h...I'm so sorry to hear that your stretch marks have gotten you down, but I think it's also totally understandable that suddenly seeing such a big change would shock and upset you! It's different to progressively seeing it happen and it's sort of a big shock reminder that things are changing, so I hope that soon the excitement and the happy changes take over your mind instead. Good luck with everything, and I hope you feel better soon!<br /><br />http://kittypann.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40657211281649935.post-273942749138332902017-09-21T09:36:34.356-07:002017-09-21T09:36:34.356-07:00I totally feel you, not that I've ever been in...I totally feel you, not that I've ever been in the exact same situation, but noticing something and not being happy with it can really knock you down :( if this can reassure you the purple will fade and your stretch marks will become white, so nearly not noticeable in the end :) and if you really want you skin to be as good as it can be I'd recommend using Palmer's stretch mark body butter (it work really well & smells so good :D) x<br /><br />Kirsty<br />www.corinneandkirsty.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02281193171391000416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40657211281649935.post-4007672203964118812017-09-21T09:33:02.993-07:002017-09-21T09:33:02.993-07:00It's completely normal to have these feelings....It's completely normal to have these feelings. Your body is going through such a change, not just physically, but all those darn hormones as well! I hated my stretch marks when they first appeared but now I love them. I often feel the small indentation on my skin and it reminds me of the incredible journey I went through to give birth and raise my son. They're definitely stripes of honour. Don't worry - you're doing great!

Don't ever let those stretch marks get you down (easier said than done when your pregnancy hormones are going crazy ofcourse) seriously though, they need to be there, they're a sign that your beautiful little girl is growing and that's a wonderful thing!

That is just incredible and you should be so proud of the life you're creating! Yes, your body will change but you will still be the wonderful, beautiful, courageous woman we all know and love!
