Stretch marks :(

I'm 2weeks & my belly is full of stretch marks. :( I put on coco butter every single day. More then once a day. & yet I ended up with them I feel so ugly. I'm embarrassed for my husband to see me naked or just my belly.. Does anyone know if laser surgery works??? Do they fade away??? Or can I tan & cover them up??

I hear coconut oil helps. Try it. I know a woman uses it and shes got 3 weeks left and only 2 little strech marks on her hip.

They will fade... try to keep your belly moisturized drink water.. and try not to scratch... gaining weight too fast can cause stretch marks too.. (they are genetic)

I agree with the previos post. I mean just enjoy your pregnancy and don't worry about the stretch marks they will fade away in time after the baby is born. So don't worry so much but I do understand you

I think it's all in your genes, you can put whatever you want on your skin but if its in you to get them you will get them, you shouldn't be ashamed, besides or bodies change after you have the baby, they might fade away .. I had some in my lower stomach and they faded but you can still see them but since I tan that helps, and yes they do have surgery for that,  but you might not even need it .. I know how you feel about your body I'm having issues myself but as they've told me don't worry about it,  enjoy your pregnancy,  but it's easier said than done .. I know :) .. Good luck!9!!

I hear tanning works and I'm in the process of using Bio oil. I've noticed it fades it But honestly I don't think they ever go away.. I say be proud of them! They're there because you carried a human being. Embrace the beautiful reality of them! :-)
