Everytime I see my stretch marks I want to just eat and cry and hide...My stomach looks so ugly with these. It's making…

I have purple ones 😩

@mimiz, mine are red and purple too 😭 I can't stand to even look at them 😭😭😭😢😢😢

@theinkedmommy, that makes me wanna cry happy and sad tears happy because I'm blessed to grow my baby inside me and sad because my stomach is so ugly and ruined now ..

Me too and I moisturized and didn't scratch

Try bio oil

@mimiz, me too but it's genetic 😓😢

@jmw24815, that's what I use

I do cocoa butter lotion and bio oil. If you have it in your genes there isn't much you can do :( but bio oil does help reduce the redness. I was so depressed for weeks after finding them on my ass..but now I'm just like fuck it.

Me too 😩

Stretch marks are mostly genetic. I know I'm going to have more when my stomach shrinks after baby 😩. All we can do is moisturize so they don't get any worse than need be.

@jessica0830, yeah I'm stressing because I'm gonna have more when mine shrinks too @theinkedmommy thank you my love 😘💛 that made me feel better

@greenlandnichole,

@greenlandnichole, I am depressed after finding them and at some points I say fuck it but then when I see more they make me wanna cry I can't help it

I feel ya! It truly is very depressing, but at least we get a baby out of it! lol.

@greenlandnichole, that is very true I'm gonna try mederma after birth and next year after saving I'm gonna try laser removal

Never forget no matter how many stretch marks we encounter during our pregnancies we are doing a magical, beautiful thing that some women can't. My best friend has cystic fibrosis and she can't have babies and she tells me she would take a million stretch marks if she could experience pregnancy and being a mother. We are still beautiful no matter what.

I'm going to give mederma a shot too.

@greenlandnichole, aw that puts a whole other outlook on things for sure. Your exactly right ❤️I know I'm blessed I just have to get over the physical appearance part of my stomach

When she told me that I felt so shallow and to be honest I was so disappointed I'm myself. But we are so used to our bodies being a certain way, this sudden change is definitely hard to deal with. The reactions we have towards the stretch marks are completely justified and normal.

@greenlandnichole, oh I can't tell you how many times I've cried about the marks to my husband and I feel shallow when I cry about them but at the same time I can't help it its new to me and also like you said I'm used to my body being a certain way and all of a sudden I have these huge red and purple marks all over my stomach. It is hard to deal with but I know I am blessed. Some days I don't care about them other days when I see more and more they make me cry lol pregnancy hormones are a crazy thing lol. I've noticed whenever I approach or reach a new week In pregnancy since my third trimester I cry about something as my hormone levels rise more each week lol

@greenlandnichole, but I also have a pregnancy complication called hyperemsis gravidarium and it's made it hard to gain any weight or eat anything all pregnancy let alone enjoy it I've thrown up more times than I can count and been in the hospital for Iv fluids for dehydration due to not being able to keep anything down food or fluid and I have severe anemia from throwing up so much all pregnancy so it's been rough. All around for me. So I'm like shit can I get a break lol

Oh no! That's terrible, I'm so sorry! You're almost done! I don't cry much but I definitely have 0 patients now at work when guests treat me like shit..I'll snap back now..lol.
