what product did you use to help with strech marks?

[cathysagal3]

@eyekandy7

I didn't get any stretch marks. I used a little bit of Vaseline Deep conditioning lotion with cocoa butter & vitamin E when I was pregnant but not much at all. :-)

[eyekandy7]

@cathysagal3 you look so good and so does your postpartum belly :)

was this your 1st pregnancy?

Im so worried about getting streach marks! i do not want them!

[cathysagal3]

@eyekandy7

Yes this was my first. Stretch marks are hereditary so if your mom has them then you may get them as well. I'm not sure which products REALLY work for them. I hope you don't any. Congratulations on your pregnancy! :-)

[hopefaithjoy13]

does birth control make you gain weight or make boobs bigger? i want to go on it but fear that it will leave me with unwanted weight gain :(

[cathysagal3]

@hopefaithjoy13

ha ha, if birth control made my boobs bigger I'd be one happy girl! They are only big (c cup)now because I'm breast feeding. I'm normally a (b cup) & have been most my life, I've been on the pill since I was 17. It never made me gain weight but it did clear up my moderate acne. :-)

[scenesteraccess]

@cathysagal3 you look SO good and so does your postpartum belly :)

I hope i do not get streach marks! Im so worried about it.

[123chandrani1]

[mina247]

You look amazing as always!! :D I am sooo obsessed with Teen mom! LOL! I LOOOVE Maci! :D

[zachsgrl04]

your look fabulous! love your hair. im obsessed with teen mom 2! and yay for Brighton's first tooth. Wyatt now has 4. Great update!

[cathysagal3]

@BeckyNIU

Thank you, I think its because I got my "skinny" face back. My hair has felt fuller lately too..must be because it stopped falling out LOL!

[BeckyNIU]

you are so cute! it's been a while since i've watched any of your vids, and you look way different from when you were pregnant. i never got into teen mom, but Love love love quints by suprise, 19 kids and county and NICU (since Hailey was in the NICU). sounds like everything is going good. i did count Hailey's dadadada as her first word and she started saying mamamama about a week ago (close to 8 months - 6 months adjusted age) have a great day!

[bigrd200]

i love maci too she seems so down to earth and glad to see your doing well :]

[Lynqtpie301]

OMG could you look any better for just having a baby? Im soooo jealous lol!! I NEVER recovered from having my first, and now that Im pregnant with #3 IDK if I'll ever get my old body back :( I LOVE Teen Mom,and Maci is my favorite too. Oh and I also was losing hair like crazy which its just starting to slow down now that Gabriel is 5 and a half months. I'll probably be bald after this new baby comes lol.

[Kelleyatwork78]

Cath..you look fantastic! I agree Maci is my favorite "Teen Mom" too! I can not believe how fast Brighton is growing up! Love seeing the "soccer" shots of him!

[cathysagal3]

@cmubarak1

Thank you so much, I'm wearing my eyeliner a little heavier. The lighting wasn't that great in my living room which may also be why it looks darker.

[MrsKLRivers]

im sure he knows your mama!! lily and him are about 2 weeks or so apart i think- her bday is march 4th- but shes been saying dada for awhiel now- she wont say mama but i know she knows im mama- she will call everything da or dada- but when she sees him its a different dada!! =) and i love teen mom too!!!!!!!!!

[chatabox0girl]

You are looking fantastic!! And its awesome that Brighton is starting to talk/babble. Babies always sound so cute.

[iwanttobefree765]

Maci all the way! she is so easy going (i'm sure she is a little more easy going cause of the cameras) but she does an amazing job AND she is still very civil with ryan which i respect SO much. like how embarassing will that be for leah watching her parents when she gets older?

[xxxyogaloverxxx]

[bahleaballerina]

i cant even tell you HOW MUCH i relate to you! I swear we have the exact same personality!!! LOL im also obsessed with teen mom I feel the exact same way you do and I just have to say ... TEAM GARY! LOL My hair has been falling out too so I feel waaay better knowing im not the only one! I already told you this but if Holland was a boy her name was going to be brighton! LOL LOVE that name!!! You look amazing hun!!!!!! I pray that I look half as amazing as you in a few months! :)
