(View of my tummy from the top) A loopsided tummy! Javier enjoys staying on the right side of my womb which results in an unequal distribution of stretch marks on my tummy too. Sigh. My right side has so much more stretch marks than the left nw! Shall nt show the pics here cos dun wanna frighten you ppl about the "ugly and unglam" moments in a pregnancy. HAha...
Can you see a faint vertical dark line running down in the middle? It is called the Linea nigra. It's much darker actually but nt so obvious in this pic due to my lousy hp cam. Anyway, it is caused by pigmentation in the skin when the abdominal muscles stretch and slightly separate, to accommodate the baby as it grows. Supposedly will disappear a few wks after delivery. Juz recalled the joke made by my boss back then that this line is actually a "guide" for the gynae to "slice" open my tummy... Diaozzz... He even added that I should use markers to draw dotted lines on it!!! 8)
