Stretch marks!!!

AmyChadd · December 2013

My bambino is 1 week 2 days old today! Had zero stretch marks until week before I had him! They are in my stomach and are very noticible!!! And suggestions how to make them better? Maybe if I start early they will be less noticeable!!!

I've heard bio oil works wonders.

I'm in the same boat. Mine are so freaking itchy they are driving me crazy! I lather them in cocoa butter at least 10 times a day but nothing helps.

Time helps.

I have used arbonne's RE9 advanced firming body cream each time. It helps fade them super well.

I also just started singing "take time with some stretched skin cuz it likes to heal. I like to steal"

I'm sure Kurt would approve.

I'm using bio oil and it is lightening the marks considerably.

Hadn't someone said that mederma would work? That's what I was hoping for.

@pirategirlpink is right. I had them with DD1 and they were completely gone/unnoticeable of course until this pregnancy. I didn't buy anything or use any products, they fade with time.

Right. Also, it's the middle of winter. No one will see them.

I used to have a major crush on Scott Wieland.

Can we use a cream with a csection? I would think no due to infection risk. Also I want to shave my bikini area so bad but with the csection cut right there don't think it's a good idea
I guess I will just have to be hairy and stretch marked up for a little while longer lol

@Meggie0421 I think he's better now!

Is he off the drugs? I hope so. Also, he owes me $50 for a concert ticket from a couple of years ago. He was too high to perform.

I finally broke down and shaved. I had an appointment for a wax the day I went into labor, so things were getting messy by last week.
I just didn't shave over my incision or right next to it. It ain't pretty, but I totes feel better.

Any ball park of how long? No chance they will be gone by summer?

I used bio oil to prevent. I only got 2 and that is where my belly button was pierced.

sugarjack · December 2013

I used bio oil and touch of mink lotion two times per day since week 6. I got three small stretch marks in week 39, but you would need to REALLY look to see them now. My dark midline is super prominent though.
