Mine are really bad now I hate looking at my stomach, but I guess theres not long left now xx
I started getting stretch marks also and I hate them!!!.... I started exfoliating with a sugar scrub almost every other night it really seems to be helping.and I also rub cocoa butter on my belly after. :)
I have thrm on my hips like little dots but then either side of my belly button slightly underneath i have two big patches. My partner says they look like angel wings so i do feel better about them :-) but my gosh do they itch!!!!
I call them my tiger stripes :-) and i worked hard for them. they do fade with time so don't be to discouraged. But hopefully it's a different way of looking at it.
this is my third and I've been super lucky, but i actually started using vitamin e oil after showing, and cocoa butter before bed and when i wake up,it does help, please don't let them get you down i think of mine as awesome kick but battle scars!
I was so happy to get my first one at 33 weeks with my first son, little did i know in the next 7 weeks he tore my belly apart! After birth i was so concious and hated them. Almost two years after havong him im at peace with them and son no 2 is doing a good job of making them red again. I cant imagine my body without them now, they are apart of me. They do fade, and that does take time, some peoples fade entirely. By the end of my last pregnancy i had them from my belly, boobs, hips, butt, thighs all the way down to my calfs.
I feel the same when I see mine. My fiance always tells me they're not that bad and makes jokes about me being a tiger lol
