Never had stretch marks until I got pregnant. I know everyone says that they are special and I earned them and I should be proud.. But they make me feel so self conscious I won't even take my shirt off if my husband is anywhere near me... 😞
I was and am not one to look at my stretch marks as "trophies," I was never proud of "earning my stripes," but I have accepted them, and they're there for good reason. It's what we go through in order to give our children a home they use for 9 months, and I always try to find the good in that. So don't feel bad, you aren't the only one who thinks that way and you aren't wrong for it.
@marchmommy16, apparently a belly fit is a wrap you wear sometime after being pregnant and it shapes your stomach. it seems to help alot of people lose weight around their waist and stomach. kind of like a coreset. but idk if both are dangerous.
lol yes I know. my husband and I were so shocked when we found out. then we got to tell everyone else. we're very happy. but I know things are probably gonna get hard toting around kids and car seats.
@shannaa24, my husband has been great, he never puts me down or looks at me differently. I know it's in my head. What's a belly fit?? Your going to be one busy momma!!!!
well your beautiful. you gave life to a baby. your husband should love your body. it won't be long for your stretch marks to vade anyways. I know how it feels. after having my son I had stretch marks every where. my stomach, sides, both but cheeks, between my legs and my breast. but it all faded to white. I was a little self conscious. but my husband told me I was beautiful all the time. he's been telling me for 8 years. our son is 4/and I'm 10 weeks pregnant with twins. so I know my stretch marks and stomach is gonna look a whole lot worse. but I'll be caring for 3 kids I probably won't even think about my stomach too much. I've been steadily putting on creams to get less stretch marks. I also plan on using belly fit.
you can use bio oil. it seems to really help. coconut oil too
@misskaebby, I have them on my sides too and stretches around to my back, I have some massage lotion that's for stretch marks.. That feels nice but idk if it's working, or really what it's even supposed to do lol thank you. I appreciate that.💙
It's okay I do the same thing already an I don't even have a bump yet. I play that card all the time with my fiancé..😂 your beautiful no matter what!!(: never forget that!
still beautiful regardless. but I know how you feel. I don't have them on the front of my stomach but my sides are a completely different story. but I do use coconut oil and rub it on them. which I find helps out a little bit. but never forget you're beautiful. inside, and out, nothing not even being pregnant and earning mommy tiger stripes, can change that! 💜💜
