Stetch marks? - Page 2

jd83 · Apr 14th, 2012, 09:59 AM

I got loads of them with my first, but mine were all the last few weeks. They all kind of came at once. My whole tummy looked like an angry red stretch mark. They literally were all over from one hip all the way to the other hip, all the way up to my belly button. But they fade pretty quickly. Most of mine are now pretty close to skin colored. My hubby is so good about them too, he always told me that those marks just remind him of all I went through to get our son

Kind of puts a positive perspective on it when you think of it that way

I suppose theres not much point of being upset about it, since we cant do nothing about them! lol hopefully they will fade quickly and i can get my bikini belly back once LO is here (lmao wishful thinking :P) just seen this pic and its cheered me up a little lol although i dont think i would be too upset if i had a tummy like that after it

I gained more around my bum at 20wks, but fingers crossed soo far not a single one across the belly. My Mum said she didn't get hers until after, when everything was going back to normal.
Though with the amount of weight I'm gaining now, who knows they may appear.

i hgave a few but i dont care, my oh kisses them! he doesnt give a crap baout them lol

ive had them since i went from 5'3 - 5'7 in the space of 6 weeks when i was 14

I've not had any since being pregnant but women in my family are prone to them and most get them when they're coming into their teens and getting curvier.

I however never really got any i got a tiny little line on my right side and two little lines on my left haha they're almost unseeable unless i stretch the skin but i have noticed since being pregnant they look longer and more stretched out.. but my other half never even knew what they were and tbh he doesn't mind them at all

so i'm not fussed.

Although i really don't want them on my belly, i've had a couple of nightmares about being covered in stretchmarks.. so weird. haha

My love handles are loaded!!! Im just starting to get one on my belly but its running off of an iold surgery scar so I think its connected. Not happy. Im cool with the ones on my back and ass cause I cant see them. but who knows how this one will be. how dumb will that be if I end up with just ONE big stretch mark. ugh
