So far, they are really low, but they remind me of runs in pantyhose. It's only a matter of time before they run up the rest of my belly! Oh yeah, I have some of those too.

It's the potential for belly-button reversal that terrifies me (I have a phobia, I guess, about outies). They started as what I call "stretch pox" - just little red dots. Then it looked, very literally, like something had reached up and clawed at my lower abdomen. Two sets of five marks, radiating outward in claw fashion. Now they have multiplied furiously and it sorta looks like flames. For some reason, none of this bothers me. Lots of other body stuff related to pregnancy is distressing, but the evolution of the stretch marks is just kind of intriguing. (I, by the way, have been VERY VERY BAD about skin care, and this is probably why I have such highly evolved stretch marks even though I am many weeks behind you.)
