Hi everyone..:wave:

Dh just notice last night that I have some stretch mark on my leg. But I'm not sure if they are because they don't look similar to the ones that I have on my belly. Can anyone tell me if they are stretch marks or varicose veins?

If it is varicose veins or some sort of veins, anyone know what caused it? Will they dissapear after I give birth? I'm very self concious now, I just think they look ugly..I've been staring at them all day and feel sorry for my self..I mean, I already have a belly covered in stretch mark, and now this? And if they're not going to fade, I won't be able to wear shorts anymore..:crying:

Anyway, I've put a link for a picture that I took this morning..Thanks for your help!!

I'm using like one bottle of bio oil for my legs, and one bottle for my belly..Maybe I should heaps more on..:D I do think they work on my belly, tho'. I haven't see any improvement on my leg..I'm gonna contact bio oil company to ask them to sell their products for me in bulk lots..Lol
