tiger stripes
So I just noticed that I look like a tiger with all these stretch marks that literally just got worse (visablly)! I had some throughout the pregnancy but they always would fade ¬ come so many at a time. Well I look in the mirror to see I look like I was mauled by a animal :( ugh they just exploded everywhere. Kind of depressed but I guess im earning stripes literally. Anyone else?
I got a few on my hips! my stomach Is immaculate though. I had my baby nearly 4weeks early though. I would assume if I went to full term there would have been more. the moment I had my baby they pretty much faded to nothing mine weren't as bad. so very lucky.
This is my second pregnancy (I'm 26wks) and so far no stretch marks. I didn't get any with my first either. Everyone says that they are hereditary but I don't think so cause my mom has them really bad but both my sister and I don't. It really just depends on your skins elasticity.
They are hereditary my mom has them too. I had some before pregnancy but never this many! @ericatoday you are totally on the same page as me! I'm hoping they fade after he's born like before. But its worth every stripe as long as I get to see my blessing!
I got them with my first I gained weight super fast at the very end so that didn't help once I hit 8 months I saw one stripe and within a couple days I was attacked on my belly and love handles. After the baby they faded to skin color so I assume my belly is what it would look like to be stabbed a bunch of times. Haha but yes worth it. I hope they don't come back this time. But even though you can see I had stretchmarks I've never felt bad about them I earned them
It is hereditary but if you don't put coco butter that only makes them worst
I heard it's hereditary, my mom never had problems with stretch marks. I will just have to see on my own when my time.comes! Which seems like its centuries later lol
Ya im almost there but the closer u get the longer it feels! Time will fly past you trust me! Mine are super dark & red look like horrible scratches! I know he will be all worth it!
I have stretch marks everywhere !! I have some on my breasts,tummy,butt,thighs,& hips. It will all be worth it in the end tho we definitely earned our stripes!
I started getting them at 19 weeks but they would fade, am now 31+4 and they are bad and dark and not fading at all..
Oh wow your so far ahead! Lol hopefully they go away. But it is all worth it for your precious little gift :) I am 12 weeks I don't feel pregnant except when I start throwing up lol
Im 35 weeks! Ive had them on my stomach but I feel like in a couple days they've tripled!
Yesss, thank God they aren't on my stomach but I have stretch marks allllllll over my hips, butt, and thighs and it definately has me feeling way unattractive. But our little ones are worth it .. glad am not the only one!! ♡
