Don't worry they fade quickly. I have some too and already they are fading, just keep lathering them up. PBK sells this amazing cream that really helps reduce the discoloration, I LOVE it and it came highly recominded by a friend. I noticed a diffrerence in a few days!

If it makes you feel better mine have disappeared quite a bit. keep butterin' that belly!
Don't worry! It'll probably fade away post partum!
