Stretch Marks

sorry C. but stretch marks never go away. I know I am covered in them as well and only gained 26 lbs from my pregnancy. You can try strivectin...it's about 90 dollars a bottle and you are supposed to rub it in to the areas you want improved three times a day for at least three months to see some improvement. I started but it got too expensive and didn't really see any improvement at all. In time the stretch marks should fade ( color wise) but I'm afraid they are here to stay.

oooh - I know your feeling! I have a ton from my 2 pregnancies and I don't think I will ever wear a bikini again : ( I heard that tanning helps "hide" them - doesn't make them go away. My mother still has all of her stretch marks from when she had me!!!

C.,

Don't worry. The stretch marks will fade! Just keep using the cream to keep it mosturized and it DOES fade. I had 3 children and a scar from having a mole removed below my belly button so when I got pregnant the scar (still young) stretched and stretched marks formed all around it. I was so upset about this. Then I had another baby, then another... I figured oh well may as well not worry about it cuz I want more children. Anyways, I've had all my babies (3) and now I still have the stretch marks, but they have faded tremendously. A little bit of sun would help too. Now I am just trying to lose that last 5-10 pounds!! There's always something! ha ha Just work out and eat healthy and use the cream. You may still see the stretch marks a little bit, but think of it as a badge of honor for what you went through to have your baby!! I think I can speak for a lot of the Moms out there! Enjoy your body stretch marks and all!!!! Have a good day! :)

Hi C.,

I have basically decided that I just will never be able to wear a 2 piece swim suit again!! I have tried several products and simply decided to deal with them....they add character! Just think, many women don't have them........but they may not have had the wonderful experience of being pregnant and having a baby, right? I know they are ugly, trust me...my belly is COVERED with them. But, like the other moms said, its a small price to pay. Good luck though, let me know if you find the miracle cure!!

Awww Sweetie, stretchmarks are the mark of Motherhood. Some of us are just more prone to them than others. I look like a tiger clawed me from just under my breasts to my pubic bone BIIIIIG long deep wide stretchies.

Time does fade them somewhat. They'll change from being kind of pinky to a silvery color.

I think you're probably just going to have to get used to them.

Dear C.,

I work for a company called Arbonne International and we sell two products that aid in stretch marks.

If you are interested, please email me at rmoyer.myarbonne.com and we can talk more.

Have a blessed day!

go to your local store it called fadeing cream any bran should do i always found mine with the aferican care product

I was fortunate to only get 3 marks on mysides.

i dont think there is anything you can do to make them go away- they will fade over time- mine were beefy red and faded to whitish.

sorry- but no magic for stretch marks.. actually they are very deep and not just on hte skin. so nothing you put on your skin will do much for them.
