stretch marks??

I had stretch marks before I got pregnant but I had lost some weight and my stretch marks were becoming transparent. I'm now 14 weeks and my pre-pregnancy stretch marks are dark and very noticeable. Did this happen to anyone else?

Mines the opposite. Ive always been a big girl with dark red stretch marks all over my hips and stomach but as my pregnancy progresses, they are going away. Currently I'm 19+6 and all my stretch marks are white and completely faded into my skin... I'm not really understanding why?? Ive gained 10 pounds all in my stomach ...

I have had some on my sides since I was 15 and they weren't noticeable and now they have gotten dark and noticeable. I hate them. But I'm just glad that's the only place I have them.

I was small when I was like 16 then I ballooned up within a few months and had a crap load of deep, red stretch marks on my belly, boobs, sides, butt, thighs, etc. but they faded after I lost most the weight. and im not even showing yet and the old, faded stretch marks are red again. I find it very unattractive and my fiancé even said something about it.

I had stretch marks all around my thighs and I lost 15pounds and they became faint and durring this pregnacy I've gained 35-40 pounds  and now they are blood red. I was upset for awhile but I realized that they became beauty marks that my son has given me.
25 days till my little man is here :)
