stretch marks

mandy_marie

Anyone else have them?  No real point to this post, just wanted some reassurance that I'm not the only one.  MH didn't help my insecurity when he told me my stomach "looks weird" last night...  I have a ton of them all around my belly button.  I hope it gets a little bit better..

You are the only person ever to have them. Tell your husband to F off.

I have then too. Dont worry. They are your battle scars!
I still have that dark line in my belly. I'm still waiting for that to go away.

Yup got em. I got more around belly button after giving birth. I am wondering what everyone is doing to minimize their appearance.

I still have mine too.  I read it is supposed to go away around 4 weeks PP.  I can't wait!  It seems much more noticable PP.

Defenitely not alone in this department.
I have them all over my stomach and along my hips. I'm a week pp and I think they are already starting to get lighter. I'm using palmers cocoa butter. I found this site through the bump mamamio.com they have products for stretch marks. I think I might try it.

I'm 4 weeks PP and the line is most definitely not gone. I read it can take up to a year

I still have mine too. I also think it is darker now then when I was pregnant.

As for stretch marks I did not get any.

I feel your pain. I'm finally coming to terms that my belly is never going to be the same and that I will never be able to wear a bikini again. I haven't given up on using cocoa butter and soon will be trying mederma when I run out of cocoa butter soon.

I have them around my belly button. I've been putting the Mederma for stretch marks on them. I know it takes time to work. I've come to accept them... It's part of being a mommy.

I was lucky I only have the dark line in my belly.

This is me too, they are showing no sign of leaving anytime soon.

stretch marks can take up to years to "go away" i've had them all my life basically, and you can still see them. I have my new ones from pregnancy on top of that...which sucks.

You need to kick your husband in the balls, then tell him they look weird.

Ha, this. 

gradmommy13

I don't mean to sound mean, but do you really think that you're the only pregnant woman to get stretch marks? 

I have a bunch of them all over my belly, my hips and my thighs. They look even darker now that I don't have a belly anymore. Hopefully they start fading soon. Btw, I can't believe your husband said that to you. That's just wrong...

Nooo!    I didn't want to hear that, but it's good to be mentally prepared that it could take a while.
