strechmarks :(

[lnzwaldrop]

Im starting to feel insecure about my strechmarks, Im 24 weeks and have them on my sides not on my belly..do you ladies have any advice on what is best to use to reduce them? Im currently using Nuby stretch mark cream from babies r us..I know its all a part of pregnancy but I just worry they are going to get worse :( also did any moms out there have theirs fade or did they pretty much stay the same after birth? Thanks! :)

I only got like two from my first pregnancy. And they first faded out completely.

I used the palmers cocoa butter cause I had heard lots of girls say it worked for them. I now have lots of stretch marks on my side's and on my belly up to my belly button

Stretch marks do fade with time..I had some as a teen cuz I had a growth spurt and weight gain. Mine were pretty much all faded then I got pregnant and they all came back early on lol. They fade to a light pink color, depending on your skin tone ofcourse. I now have them on my belly, lovehandles, bottom of my butt cheeks and back of my legs. I do use bio oil, don't see much results atm but i also dont use it as much as recommanded. Keep moisturising and you should avoid them or at least minimize them :) some people have skin that stretches very well, and some don't

U can use bio oil (doesnt do much to reducing them but i guess it helps with the skin stretching). I use lotion on my whole belly and hip area because thats where all of mine are. I also use it on my breast because im terrified of getting them there lol then i use bio oil directly on the stretch mark. I believe in most cases after birth they will start to go to a light color and blend in with ur skin tone. I know after six kids my moms stretch marks are only noticeable when she actually points out where they are and she had a lot of them too. Try to keep your skin nice and moisturized. Lotion morning and night and hopefully that will help with the stretching. :) she remember that as a mom those are your battle wounds lol

Im using bio oil but i have them on my luv handles. but i had some stretch marks on my books from my growth spirt and they did fade away once i used this product. i haven't seen no difference on my sides tho maybe after birth they will get better?
