I only had one up until my 7/8 month and then they came in. But I use alot of coconut oil so I think it helps them not be as red. I really was hoping not to have them because I wanted a normal tummy after birth but it is what it is and I just forced myself to accept them. Plus my husband isn't repulsed by them he actually think one looks like a sun haha that helps knowing hes not judging

Stretch marks are apart of pregnancy, you get them or you don't. You can keep trying lotions and stuff but it may not do anything. I'm proud of my stretch marks & I know not everyone can be happy about them but look at it as your tiger stripes , you carried and kept your baby safe inside of you :) maybe ask the doctor or look online for some stuff !

What kind of health insurance do you have?
I have also tried bio oil..aloe vera..Shea butter..Cocoa Butter and they were light as well but then darkened over night. They didn't come til I was 8 months too!! Anyway I have ordered some prescription cream especially for stretch marks and I've heard great things about this product...its covered under tricare insured members
