super depressed

Well today I hit 37 weeks and also found stretch marks on my stomach. I knew it was gonna happen but I'm still really upset about it :( anyone going through the same thing?

I have stretch marks all over my body,  knees, boobs, hips, back, but the worst is my inner thighs, it doesn't even look real.  I am always super self conscious of them.  The thing is i got them even i was going through a growth spurt at 12 and I gained a lot of weight at 21 which I got off.

By now they no longer bother me and have faded and are not to noticeable. Don't worry too much.  Just keep lotioning. I am in the lady month and still no strychnine marks on my belly, fingers crossed I may have caught a break for once though!

I have been using a mix of coconut oil, emu oil and carnation oil as well as exfoliating.  It's never to soon to stay treating,  preventing age working on them. Plus I've seen mega hot moms in bikinis with stretch marks.

You're beautiful and wonderful and your amazing body made another person!  Be confident! And remember they fade!

I feel the same way! I didn't start getting them bad until I was about 7 months and it felt like they just showed up overnight. I had my sister take a picture of my tummy so I could see my entire belly and man was that mistake! But we just gotta think of our little babies we will soon be holding in our arms! My mom says they are mommy marks and its so worth it! I'm 35 weeks.

O god yeah I got loads and didn't realise till after there on my back and in between my legs lol! But totally worth it honestly and to be honest you don't really get your belly out much after having a baby and they fade to little white lines anyway hardly noticeable it's just part of being a mom some people are lucky I wasn't one of them people but wouldn't change them they remind me of what I did and that I carried my child just part of childbirth there's women out there who would die for stretch marks and to carry there own child so try not to be to upset :)

Don't get too upset, at least you got them way later in your pregnancy, when the baby is out the color will fade and you can work on tightening that area up, you'll be okay, I got mine super super early like at 3 or four months and I had no belly either they just came out, i get how you feel but then I got used to it and it didn't bother me but I've been seeing mine for almost 6 months, you'll have them just for a couple weeks! Hang in there
