I feel so disgusting. ? I always thought that I would get like one or two... Not so many that my whole lower stomach looks ripped and purple and raw.

I know they'll fade eventually... I'm looking forward to that!

I'm only halfway through my pregnancy and mine are just as dark :(

I get SO jealous when I see women with absolutely no stretch marks on their beautiful preggo bellies. Especially since it's supposed to be genetics, and my mother birthed three children without a single mark or mommy pouch to show for it ?

Mine were that dark if not darker. Each month that went by after I had my son they faded more and more to the point they're hardly noticeable. You have to be up super close and staring at my belly to see them. I didn't do anything special they faded on their own.

this is exactly what mine looked like.

now they are kind of lighter,but im only 3 months pp.

Mine looked like that, and while they were awful for the first couple of months after LO was born, they have faded quite a bit. Take heart, you have earned your stripes!

Don't worry mama. They'll fade a lot once baby is gone. Plus when baby isn't in there stretching your skin it kinda shrinks down. Like when you right something on an inflated balloon and then deflate it. The image or writing gets smaller. Same thing happens with stretch marks.

Mine were like this, they've faded some. It'll get better hun

Rub coconut oil. They aren't ugly or bad looking, you're having a baby! It's okay. They do look like they hurt or are irritated

They look so painful and angry ??
