I'm not afraid to say I've had strech marks ever since puberty, whatev.  But I woke up yesterday and saw in the mirrow these purple things on my love handles... WTH??  I'm almost to the end and they decide to show up??  I can deal with the shiny lines but these are so grossly obvious, yuck.  Will they go away?  Anyone?  Anyone??

    Sorry hun...those are stretch marks. I have them all over both hips, and covering my lower abdomen....all purple.  Heck, they even are in my crotch area.

    The purpleness should fade...

    LOL! I have these coming from the tops of my stretch marks. I don't know what the fvck they are but aren't they horrible? Mine look like little purple vines coming from one big huge red vine. It's just something else to make us feel sexy. Wink

    Well if stretch marks are supposed to make us feel sexy then I feel like the hottest pregnant woman out there! I feel like there's a new one each freakin day! I'm afraid to see what it looks like after DS is born....ACK!

    I am so happy you asked this.  I was just looking in the mirror about an hour ago and saw these same exact things.  I, too, have had white stretch marks on my sides since puberty (nothing on the belly...yet!).  I thought maybe I had sat on something, but every time I check to see if they had gone away, they are still there.  Boooo!

    I now know what it is.

    This is kind of what I have, too. I have old faded stretch marks from when I gained a million pounds in college and since about week 25, they've got little purple tips! I'm like, wtf- I'm not gaining any weight or inches on my hips! They're the same size they were before! stop it!

    mine showed up on my belly a few weeks ago - dark purple and painful!  my sister swears that the coloring will fade after the baby comes out, but we're stuck with the marks...i'm keeping my fingers crossed that they revert to "regularly" colored marks post partum...good luck!
