I hated when this happened to me first pregnancy! Now I have so many and I'm getting more... but it sucks that you made it so far and then they popped!
I got mine when I had a growth spurt in high school! Now I have moar! They will fade over time and become less noticeable hopefully.
This (sorry) makes me feel better. I've had sooooo many come up. I'm sooo purple. My before pg ones were white. These are BRIGHT!!!
As a kid & teen, I spent my summers and afternoons out in the sun swimming. When I have a tan, they become even less noticeable. Right now they're pretty obvious, but hopefully a little skin color in the spring will even them out.
@alanna7777 I hear bio oil works well. I started using it at the start of 2nd tri like the bottle recommends. Nothing yet... But I hear if you already have them it helps dramatically. Apply when still purple rather than healed.
Sorry, that stinks! I had little ones that were hardly noticeable on my hips from growing in high school before pregnancy.
The ones on my belly just showed up in the past 3-4 weeks. I know it comes with the territory, but every once in a while when I see them in the mirror I'll get pretty upset. I just hope they get lighter as time goes by.
I just started getting them too and I've been using bio oil and coco butter. I was expecting to get them so it didn't surprise me but they are pretty annoying since they are really itchy.
