I like that it's a lotion and affordable...

I used the Aveeno baby line the whole time and I swear it's made my skin more stretchy!

@tracynangel, that's awesome! I guess it all depends on you.

Its a product from my business called Streach Mark Cream from It Works Global.

My mom had them and j don't!

I meant to say "if your mother had them more then likely you WILL."

@tracynangel, I just did some research on stretch marks it's genetic so if your mother had them more then likely you won't. Also no true treatment for stretch marks, only hydration and some help from lotions will help with skin elasticity. I already had stretch Mark's on my butt so I guess all my weight gain made things worse. My mom didn't get too many but she did have a few. My sister has them everywhere and really bad. She's my half sister and she German/ Cherokee Indian and I am Italian/ Cherokee Indian. So we will see how I end up. I feel a lot better thanks to all you ladies I'm in a much better mood.

@anna.atterberry, what stretch mark cream?

@kimberlyyyy, I had no clue you can message on here lol

Isn't it genetic or something? I'm always curious to know!

I know how you feel! Ive been looking at my belly everyday to see if I am getting them. But I guess this streach mark cream is actually working cuz I dont have any on my belly. Just the ones I have had on my hips previously have started turning purple, just means extra cream! lol

Feel free to message me if you want to talk more. Stretch marks fade naturally, but I understand wanting them to fade quicker. I was 110 my first pregnancy and made it to 165. This pregnancy I started at 158 and and 19w6d im down to 155, which is still "overweight" for my body.

@ivelissesmommy, I really hate to hear you have an asshole to deal with. I dislike men like that :( I haven't had any mean comments from my man, but he occasionally see's women on Instagram that have nice bodies. So I hope he learns to love me even more once I give him his son. You are right about the women who would die to be in my shoes. I just needed to be reassured that I am blessed with what I got. Thank you all for everything. I don't know what I would do without this app. I love how all of us women can be nice to each other and help each other out. Unlike my own personal Facebook.

@hueysmommy12, the shit doesn't work lol you got that right.

@kimberlyyyy, I really think I am going to try the Mederma I just want my stretch marks to not be dark purple :/ I was 94 pounds before I got pregnant and as of now 41 pounds extra. Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I am trying to be happier about it. I am very lucky God has let me become a mom. Just didn't expect to be so emotional and confused on how to feel about all the changes.

listen girl. my man asked me right away if i was gonna start exercising... then told me i needa wear shoes because how fat, swollen, and ugly my feet are. now im not tryna down my babys father. but he is an asshole. but him being an asshole just makes me feel more beautiful because i know carrying a baby is the most beautiful thing in life. and i did that. thats just how you gotta look at it. you cant look at it as "im not as skinny as i was" "i have stretch marks everywhere". nope you gotta own it. some women would kill to be getting stretch marks just because it would mean they was pregnant... and its sad but you just gotta always look at it in the more positive way. i cant lie. i cried when i seen my first stretch mark... but then i just kept thinking anyone who cant see the beauty in this? is shallow and someone idc for. youll be rockin a two piece girl. and if anything, you'll be lookin better than before. 💪❤✊

Use that not coco butter for stretch marks shit don't work at all @desiduke2413

@hueysmommy12, I'll have to try that.

@ivelissesmommy I use to model and It's a big adjustment watching my body change so fast in such a short time. I am proud to be a mommy and love my son so very much. These stretch marks worry me that I will never be able to rock a sexy two piece again. I also am scared to death that my boyfriend will no longer see me to be attractive. Thank you for being so positive it really makes me feel better <4

Mederma is awesome. Smells gross but it works really well!!!! And you just learn to accept them. I won't lie and say they're awesome, but there are people who are truly not bothered by them. I don't know your romantic situation, but I was a single mom throughout my first pregnancy and I found an amazing man who loved me for who I was, wasn't bothered in the slightest with my stretch marks or fat && he loves my son!! And now we're having a kiddo together. I struggled with negative body image/ body dysmorphia && a case of anorexia but none of that made me feel better. You learn that after having a baby, or babies, that there is more to life than the stretch marks you get or the fat you can't get rid of. If you haven't gotten them too bad yet, make sure you don't scratch your stomach, drink lots of water and use a bunch of lotion! Mederma, cocoa butter, bio oil, there's lots of products on the market to help prevent or lessen the appearance. Hope I helped a little bit. Good luck, don't be so down on yourself!

girl please. stretch marks are nothing to be ashamed of. we did something no man could do, create a life. and id any guy doesnt appreciate it, i promise you theres a man that'll kiss. every single one. or i promise when your baby sees them theyll see how strong their mommy was . stretch marks are beautiful and make you more beautiful. dont dare think otherwise ❤

Merderma ( spelling ) for stretch marks works @desiduke2413
