stretch marks

[taylorvessels]

I'm very depressed. I've been putting cocoa butter on my stomach since I found out I was pregnant and had no stretch marks until maybe 2 weeks ago. I'm 34 weeks now. they came and I have more than just a few. I thought I would go my whole pregnancy without them on my stomach up until week 32 when they just randomly showed up. how much do they fade after you give birth and how long does it take?

I also know how you feel.. I was depressed for a while because a lot of them popped up out of nowhere but I have kept positive thoughts from it since I know that I got them to be a mom :) just don't think of them in a negative way :)

All my stretch marks from my first pregnancy faded to white so u didn't see them much. This is my second pregnancy and I have them again but sure they'll fade for the most part. I won't be ashamed either way of my body. My babies grew there. <3

I have been using bio oil ever since my second l semester of this pregnancy... it doesn't help now I'm using coco butter.. but let me inform you.. using  these products won't stop you from getting stretch marks. . Reason been your skin is stretching rapidly to accommodate the growth of your baby..though some person are lucky enough to have skin that stretches without stretch marks others like you and I are not the same... just don't mind them... I'm sure ofter you have the baby most of them will fade.. plus the products your using will help and work more efficiently... good luck and safe delivery... I'm 35 weeks having the same problems... but I just stop sweating it..

Use bio oil it really helps! You can find it at any Wal-Mart, Target or Babies-R-Us

I made a body scrub for stretch marks it's 2tbs of ground coffee, 2tbs of sugar, and enough coconut oil to make it a bit runny but not too much. Scrub it on your body while you are in the shower and rinse off. It makes your skin look good and feel really soft. It's good for cellulite and stretch marks.

They fade but never completely go away

I know how you feel, :/ I was very self conscious before the baby even though I'm a thin girl. I went all the way until 36-37 weeks and then boom started to get them out of no where. I got them on my thighs, butt, boobs & stomach but now I love looking at them because it was a home for my precious 11 day old baby boy. I'm sure you're still beautiful, keep your head up. :)

It definitely takes a while, but they do fade. Im 9 months postpartum and actually 5 weeks prego with mt second but my body is still healing my stretch marks. It'll happen though, just be patient!
