Am i alone..?

[BlakesMommy2015]

I'm 25 weeks & I have stretch marks on my lower back & on my stomach & they are pretty dark. :( I know I should be proud of them but lately I've been even embarrassed to change in front of my boyfriend or even myself. Why do I feel so ashamed? Am I the only one..?

I'm pregnant with my third & as much as my stretch marks used to make me self conscious I've learned to accept them. I have them on my boobs , stomach , legs and love handles. I earned them , I've carried two boys and now our third! I also have to have another csection so I have my scar from that too

Coconut oil! Coconut oil! Coconut oil! I've been using it everyday twice a day since finding out I was pregnant, I'm 34 weeks and haven't experienced one stretch mark! You can find it in the grocery section next to olive oil n such

I got stretch marks everywhere, just about every inch of my breasts has them, I'm getting them bad on my sides and stomach, thighs, butt, back. But you know what? My husband says I still look beautiful everyday, even though my breasts are just streaks of stretch marks. I used every sort of lotion and oil but nothing worked for me, but they do fade and you still are beautiful as ever. It's hard for me to be proud,too. But I know that it is worth my beautiful baby boy<3

With my first I got stretch marks all over on my lower back and stomach I tried everything to stop them bro oil different lotions and butters. After you have baby they will fade so don't worry :) I would be careful using the palmer's coco butter when I used it I got an aweful rash all in my stretch marks that wouldn't go away and was so irritating

I have them on my hips butt stumach and legs lol I tried everything nothing worked. This is my second pregnancy and honestly I don't care what anyone thinks! They fade so its not that big of a deal and if someone says anything just be like oh I'm sorry did u make a human being with your body lol sometimes you just gota say screw it

It's because you feel like a fat cow, most likely. My daughter is 2 in August, and I'm 6 weeks with number 2, and I could care less who sees my stomach. Honestly I didn't care the last 2 months of my first pregnancy because I was so damn hot I was not covering up for anyone. But up until then I was incredibly self conscious, even before I got pregnant, but that's just my own body issues. After my daughter was born, I allowed myself to mourn over how much fatter I looked now than I did when she was still inside, which was a mistake. I've been back to my pre pregnancy weight since about October of last year, and I didn't even remember it happening. I just looked in the mirror one day and was like "huh. Charli would you look at that? Mommy's skinny." And you better believe I still wear a bikini and did last summer too! Don't worry, it's a horrible phase we all go through. I blame it on society. But I promise, you will get over it. And after that beautiful baby is born you'll be wondering what the heck you were thinking worrying about stretch marks. ;)

Your not alone im only 20w and my lower back is having dark stretch mark.. yes i feel shy too to get naked in front of my husband

It happens girl don't be sad about it. Use coconut oil , the kind you can cook with. I swear it's amazing and works better than anything I've tried. I got stretch marks with my first pregnancy and was sad because I used coco butter religiously. This pregnancy I've only used coconut oil and pure vitamin e oil and I haven't got any and it made my old ones fade away. I'm due in 3 days so that's pretty dam good . anyways keep your head up girly!!

Don't be ashamed, use Palmer's Cocoa Butter for stretch marks it works really good plus stop the itching
