    oh yes I've got them...but the way I look at it is that I feel very fortunate cause I'll be honest my DH has them on his belly where he's gained so much weight & lost it & his are bright red against white belly...& (don't get me wrong they don't bother me I didn't marry him for his "perfect body") i would never tell him this but I'm secretely grateful that mine are not like his, so they could always be so much worse...and I'm actually kind of proud of them LO is getting so big its hard to remember he at one time was small enough to fit in my belly... I feel like its like his postage stamp from where he started (I personally hate them being called battle/war stripes, maybe I would feel differently if I had a difficult pregnancy & felt like it was a battle!)

    I got them on my inner thighs, a few on the tops of my thighs, a few on the tops of my hips, and lots from my belly button down. The ones on my legs and hips I couldn't care less about, but the ones on my stomach made me feel bad, but more when they first started and when I saw more and more appear and higher and higher.

    They've already gone from red to pink and I really don't feel anything about them at this point. Sure I'll be glad when they're more faded, but I'm more happy that my skin is tightening back up and isn't staying saggy!

    Stretch marks are what they are and they're truly a small price to pay for my sweet baby!

    I have them too. On my belly and breasts. Admittedly, some were there before pregnancy since I was overweight. But now there are more.

    You are definitely not alone.

    I definitely have a lot!  I didn't get any until I was 35 weeks pregnant so I honestly thought I was in the clear then they showed up and multiplied so fast!  I don't see how I could even wear a bikini again even if I lost the belly flab.  They are actually indentations so I don't see how that will go away even if they fade......
