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.

@muvamermaid, thank you, I know my son is worth it I just have to keep reminding myself.

@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

Embrace it! You will love them after you have your baby because the baby is living proof that they are worth it!

@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! 💜💜

@cheyandbaby, thank you, I'm just having a pity party right now lol

You are beautiful no matter what your body looks like! Your a goddess!💞
