piggy..
Opps.. Sorry.. Just activated my PM. =)
JSL..
Ya I used to love coffee.. Even the aroma of the coffee very shiok.. But now makes me sick.. So everytime my co drinks it... I hold my breathe.. =) Actually they say drinking more water helps to reduce water retention.. It is when you eat too much salty stuff or when dehydrated, only then will water rentention worsen... I had a bit of water retention towards the end of my #1 pregnancy.. Had to wear sandals all the time cos my feet got bigger.. One of my sandals that I wore, after giving birth, cannot wear liao.. too loose.. That was how swollen my feet were!! Lol.. The joys of pregnancy!!!
We cannot crontrol whether we get SM or not.. like what piggy said, genes play quite a big role... I know of women who never put anything and they don't have a single stretch marks...I used the clarins stretch marks cream and did not get any during my 1st pregnancy.. *fingers cross* this time round!! =)
