Okay, I’m going out on a limb here by saying that there are two things most pregnant woman pray they never get. One is the dreaded stretch mark and second is varicose veins or better known as spider veins. Why? Because they are ugly, red and a permanent fixture on your body. In time, yes, stretch marks will fade, but they will never completely go away and varicose veins don’t dissapear unless you have surgery. I don’t think I’m being vain in saying this and I don’t consider myself as a high maintance kind of woman. Come on, no one likes noticeable flaws on their body. The reason that I went on this tangent is because yesterday I found my first stretch mark as well as a varicose vein on the back of my left leg. So much for wishful thinking and for belly butter! Pregnancy is definitely 9 months of constant surprises.
