Another stretch mark post =(

Please tell me I'm not alone. I knew I was going to be one of the unfortunate ones and get stretch marks on my belly, and I was even ok with seeing them on back/hip area.... BUT I recently discovered them on the back of my legs, like on the back of my knees! (I don't know the technical term for the area) How disgusting is that!! I officially feel like I will never be sexy again! Any recommendations, I know they won't go away, but what can I use to make them fade??

    I thought I was getting stretch marks there too. However after doing some serious inspectioning (which was NOT easy to do), I have discovered they are actually veircose veins!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep getting charlies horses in the exact some spot - I don't know if it's a coincidence or not.

    UGH! I have a few varicose veins on each leg too. So I have stretch marks and varicose veins too! Why is pregnancy so unattractive? LOL

    I've had them there since my last LO was born and I hate it, especially in the summer. The only good thing is that they're not nearly as noticeable as the belly ones.

    Mine started showing up on my hip/upper thigh at about 28 weeks, and have spread on my thighs under my butt, and lower, and up over both hips.  I also have two on my left breast.  I just spotted my first one on my belly about a week ago.  And today I found one on the back of my right calf.  :-/  Oh well.

    My husband pointed out that I have 2 littles ones on the bottom of my belly. I have to lift it up to see though lol. I told him that he shouldn't even have told me they were there because I probably never would've noticed. That same area has been itching for the last couple of weeks and I guess that's why. lol
