All of a sudden I have stretch marks??

suziejane14 · October 2013

I didn't have one stretch mark when I was pregnant. Even when I was in labor the nurse was in awe that I had nothing. Now two weeks after delivery I have some showing up right by my belly button. This is not cool. I dont want anymore showing up. Do I just keep doing the cocoa butter? What can I do??

I had some show up at 3 weeks postpartum. I also lost 30 pounds in those 3 weeks. You can get them from rapid weight loss.

That happened to me both times, had very few stretch marks before labor, had several afterwards! So frustrating!

The same thing happened to me... they showed up below my belly button. I was wondering if I just couldn't see them under my big belly while I was pregnant, but it sounds like it could be from the rapid weight loss. They seem to be fading as my stomach shrinks and I've been putting lotion and earth mama angel baby on them.

I got some on my boobs PP, I had no idea you could get them from the rapid weight loss, interesting! They're pretty light, and on the sides, so they don't bother me much

Lol at "this is not cute. I don't want anymore". I wish it was that easy. You had a baby and your body stretched. Stretch marks are genetic. I used bio oil and cocoa butter my entire pregnancy and it did nothing. It happens.

stretch marks are under your top layer of skin so there's really nothing that can be done. i wouldn't waste any money on expensive remedies but cocoa butter can't hurt
