Even if you don't get streching marks your tummy looks alittle saggy as you lose your baby belly. Drinking lots of water, exercise, and moisturizing Ur tummy with somthing helps I use coconut oil. This is going to be my 3rd baby and my belly always goes back to normal after a while. I have one stretch mark I got after my 2nd baby it doesn't completely  go away but it does get alot lighter.

I tanned and they lightened up I didn't let myself get super dark because they might white but they don't go away completely but I felt much better about them.

With my first I got them pretty bad. But they've faded and this time I haven't really gotten them back. They didn't dissapear but aren't getting any worse. Theyll always be there but its a reminder of the most important thing(s) in your life.

Tanning will help them blend in but it only works while your tan. Exercise will help tighten the skin & can get rid of them permanently

After you have him it will look saggy but it will tighten up and tanning helps them lighten. Of course your tummy will never look the same but after you get back to your normal size it wont look so bad, but its all worth it!
