Stretch Marks

I'm 38 weeks and the marks I have on my sides and hips almost look like veins. When I think of stretch marks I think of the ones that are like scars and they feel like indentions. The ones I have arent indentions in my skin and theyre dark colored. What can I do for those? Ive used bio oil on my skin but I feel like lotions and oils would only help fade the scar ones of the surface. Anyone else have these types of stretch marks?

Are you sure they're not spider veins? I have a few on the side of my thighs/hips which I have had since my teenage years. Laser is about the only thing gets rid of them I think. They don't really bother me.

Well I think it's commen for every women or at least majority of women to get stretch marks. I use cocoa butter 2-4 times a day. Once you have stretch marks they will always be there. The oil helps the marks not be so noticeable and red\purple.
