Noooooooo!!!!

I thought I was going to be fine, but they finally appeared.
My OH was cocoa buttering me up a couple days ago and said it looked like I was starting to get stretchies at the bottom of my bump where I can't see. So I looked in the mirror today and those sucker are coming in! They're soooo dark. At least I can't see them when I look down or I'd be depressed every time I looked at my bump.

Dont worry! Ive got them everywhere! Even on the back on my knees and everywhere up from there! None on my bump but hips and everywhere else have them. Hence no bare bump pics from me We all have them though. Dove shower gel has been working wonders for me. I know you can get the soap there but im not sure about the shower one. No idea why but theyve been fading since!

I have them from being Pregnant with Jaymee, Although I got the Majority of mine from streching Back after I already had her. But im fully expecting to see strechies any day from this pregnancy Im not sure how much longer My skin can strech.

Think of them as a Good thing Means baby is growing and its all a Part of being Pregnant, Besides They are what makes us Mommies , Our war Wounds

I didn't have ANY on my bump until about 34 weeks. Then all of a sudden BAM they started at my belly button and came up. I'm kind of sad..but they really haven't bothered me too much, i'm hoping they will go away after she's born

I just joke that baby is trying to scratch his way out already!

All the joys of motherhood. I'm riddled with them.

 

[xx~Lor~xx]

Awh, try not to see them as a bad thing, be proud mummah!! I'm absolutely covered in them from my pregnancy with Robyn, and i'm sure I'll get more soon with this pregnancy as well. OH says I look like a tiger I have so many name a body part, and I guarantee I've got stretchmarks on it!

xoxox

I have them all over my hips and they are getting worse, none of my bump. But I have them on the tops of my legs..

I use 'expert stretch cream oil', but I don't think it works..

 

[LoisP]

I honestly believe that nothing actually works. Time is the only healer for stretch marks. (IMO that is)

 

[lauram_92]

I don't think anything will prevent you getting them, but I think there are creams that genuinely reduce them and fade them..

It's so unlucky when people go through their pregnancy without stretch marks then get them all when the baby is out from loosing weight.

I didn't have any up to about thirty weeks and then bang I was covered, but now I've gone back yeah I'm covered but I don't care they don't bother me at all and they will fade over time

Don't worry about them or youl end up like me - looking at laser surgery to fade them; never going anywhere without a cardigan or longwer sleeved top to cover them; despising your body 24/7; feeling upset and sick looking in a mirror etc.
If only id taken my own advice many moons ago.

It seems ironic that I can say they aren't as bad as they're made out to be, yet still be so depressed and sickened over my own.

 

[bbyno1]

I thought i escaped them with my pregnancy but nope! The last few weeks mine appeared too! They do fade with time though don't worryx

 

[Melissa.Feb12]

I just got some too! They're also on the bottom of my bump and a few right by my belly button , they upset me greatly

 

[JWandBump]

Stretch marks have got my boobs underneath , i diddnt notice for ages because they got so big if i look down i cant see underneath them haha xx

 

[amandakelley]

Aww, hon! I started getting some early on, but they are only on my boobs. Well, ALL over sven't found any anywhere else, though.

I try not to worry about them. I started using Cocoa butter at the beginning, but I don't think it works hardly. My mother in law says I need to seriously lather them up because they are super deep.

OH tells me they are just my mommy marks and that he likes them. Just think of them like that and it won't be so bad. At least for me they aren't. He reminds me every time that I start worrying about them, and it makes me feel better.
