It is tiny so far...hardly noticeable, but it is there. It is sprouting out of the middle of the scar from my ancient belly button piercing. I had my belly pierced three separate times, and I had scar tissue in my belly and that is right where it split. I think it is just because the skin is not as elastic on scar tissue. Hopefully I won't get too many more, and that little one doesn't get out of control.

I was really lucky with my 1st pregnancy I got one tiny one right underneath the bump. Difference was I actually lost a stone and half in weight!

Touch wood so far with this pregnancy I havent got 1 stretch mark yet! Still a long way to go though!

I've got quite a lot now! Managed to get rid of them after my first two, didn't get many with my third, but then i have far too many from the twins lol!! I'm not bothered any more though, its part of having kids I guess
