Stretch marks!

[magic93]

I really thought i was goin to make it thru this pregnancy without any stretch marks at 37 weeks i got a little one where my belly button piercing was which wasnt bad... But now 4 days from my due date its gettin worse everyday. And theres another little one that jus showed up on saturday n i do not want it to get worse. I want this kid out of me asap, the longer im pregnant the worse there guna get. Any advice for stretchmarks? What to put on them. Ive been putting on my regular lotion since forever but what is good for strrtch marks?

i have had stretch marks since about 15 weeks and i found moisturizing everyday with cocoa butter makes your belly really soft and helps them fade and arent very pokey outy lol

Ive been using like my regular cocoa butter vaseline lotion, which does help but at this point i dont know what else to do. Hopefullh they go away

 

[teenmommy15]

since you got them so late in your pregnancy i would think they would go away faster as long as you mosturize everyday

Unfortunately that is really common. Having none all the way through and then they take over your body in the last couple of weeks. Bio-oil and coco butter are really good for them. Also, it can be expensive, but pure vitamin E oil is supposed to be the best thing to use.

Also try as little as possible to scratch o touch them, it just makes it worse.

Also they fade after pregnancy. They dont go away bit they become lighter and lighter given time!

That's okay.

Yeah I was super super super ichy in my last couple weeks of pregnancy with my first. I could not stop scratching and I found out the hard way how a few stretchmarks can take over your stomach when you scratch. I was a nightmare and they were so sore and swollen.
They do fade though. I mean you can still see them but they fade quite a bit and if you keep using oils and creams afterwards that will help a lot too.

Yeah I got really really itchy the last few weeks of my pregnancy with my first and I found out the hard way, how a few stretchmarks can take over your entire belly just by scratching a little. It was so bad, so sore and they were swollen. Thankfully they do fade and using those oils and creams afterwards helps a lot too.

I haven't gotten any so far except one on my right boob haha... I've always had stretch marks around my hips and behind my knees because summer of 6th grade I grew 4 inches in 3 months. I was in so much pain! hahaha.

ANYWAY, the way I see it is if you get stretch marks you just have some reminder (other than a child haha) of what you went through and accomplished! Of course nobody really wants stretch marks, but I'm ready for them when and if they happen, and I'm ready to be proud of em! haha, but yeah, I use coconut oil and cocoa butter as well. It should help them fade

I have some in the middle of my tummy and one goes through my belly button, my boobs and thighs have them. I had none until 38 weeks , then they just popped out of nowhere, I used cocoa butter, bio oil and coconut oil twice a day as I really didn't want them.
I hate them, but unfortunately when your skin is forced to stretch so much it can be a consequence, mine have faded to silver but I still hate them.

Of course I dont mind if ive got a few stretch marks could be a lot worse.. Thats the price your body pays after 9 long months...
But im still going to do everything i can to fade them, cause of course nobody wants them lol
