Stretch marks

Britany17

I'm 37 weeks and keep finding stretch marks everyday. Ughhhh I hate them. Anybody else feel the same ?

My hips look like zebras. They seem to only be on my hips but there is more and more each day. I'm worried since my boobs haven't gotten larger yet that when my milk comes in they will go crazy with marks also.

All over my stomach. I hate them. They got so much worse in the past few weeks too!

Not yet but I see a few vericose vein type small lines on stomach.  Im worried sm will show up soon or post delivery?  Im using cocoa butter and bio oil.  What is everyone else using?

Same here - at least they're not migrating from my stomach.  There's one enormous stretch mark in particular that hurts really badly - its very angry-looking.

As far as what people are using, I rub lotion (nothing special, today it was St. Ives) all over my stomach a couple times a day but it does nothing.  Stretch marks are hereditary, and if you drew the short straw in the gene pool, there's really nothing you can do about them.

Yep, they are making me feel uncomfortable around my SO. He still tells me I am beautiful and doing a great job, but I know they are ugly.

I don't have any stretch marks anywhere yet! Thank gosh! But I use bag balm and olive oil!

I have terrible ones all over my stomach. My OB has commented twice now, 'Oh your poor stretch marks!' Coming from a woman who sees as many pregnant bellies as she does that was an eye opener. They are getting furrows in the worse ones, lotion is a lie and so are all the oils I tried.

Yes I am feeling so worried I'm being induced next week but I had one just pop up and my skin is so itchy I just know I'm gonna explode with them soon.

I got the short end of the stick genetic-wise with stretch marks. Mine are practically cratered or something. They're only on my stomach, but they're creeping ever upwards on there. It's kind of scientifically interesting. They're so bad that my linea nigra isn't even visible below my belly button. I use bio oil and stretch mark lotion and everything.

I am right there with you, and I have put on oils and creams everyday since I became pregnant. I didn't get them until about 32 weeks, and then they came in FULL FORCE! No more bikini body for me :

I am using Mama Mio tummy butter. It smells amazing and so far I have NO stretch marks! I am almost 38 weeks Also, stretch marks run in my family and I do have a few on my hips from years ago, so this lotion has really been amazing! :
