I just found out that most women get
strech marks in the sixth and seventh
months of pregnancy, but that is not the
bad news. The bad new is that though many
of us may not have them yet, and when we
get to eight months we still may not have
them that we can see, invisble ones may be
forming under the skin, just waithing to
pop out. And a lot of women get them
after they give birth. This sucks.

Lol! I was expecting something serious!
lmao! Whew! Yeah but stretch marks arent
all bad. They fade after you have the
baby too. It's no big deal.

I have them kind of high, and not dark,
but starting a few days ago I have purple
ones starting just to the right of my
belly button! nnnoooo!!!!!Haha I
am gunna look like a road map I bet by the
time this baby comes. I can't believe i'm
getting them, I didn't think my tummy was
streatching all that much. I was telling
jeff I feel so small still, and looked at
me surpised and said, you don't look small
at all to me, you look really big. But
compared to other preggy tummys, I still
feel small. He says probably because I am
fat (yes he used that word!!! ) it makes my
pregnant belly look smaller then that on a
skinny person who is just as far along. I
don't know. But skinny before or not,
they still seem bigger. I just have this
cute little basket ball in front of me. I
kind of like the little belly though. I
already have soo many issues from it!!!
Haha bad back, tired quickly, pelvic pain.
Pregnancy is not what you expect it to
be!! I use to listen to all the girls
complain saying they want the baby out
already, and now I fianlly understand.
I'm 28 weeks today and saying, "how much
longer??" lol

During my pregnancy, I used mederma, its a
topical gel made just for stretch marks
and surgery scars.

There's all sorts of creams and stuff
available now, and ive heard that you can
get those vitamin e caplets with the
liquid inside, pop them and rub it
directly on the marks, I have a ton of
them from losing lots of weight when I was
younger and theyve faded pretty well
already

You can also get vitamin e oil by itself
in a little bottle so you don't have to
pop open the little pills!

Lol. I am sorry for the title ya'll.
Now I really see that it was not the best
choice. Well, anyway I heard vitamin e
is supposed to work for them, but it never
did for me. Vitamin e is great for the
face though, it keeps the pores really
small. I also have used mederma for
scars and strech marks, it only works when
you use it faithfully. I have had tons
of strech marks but none on my stomach.
I seems like the younger you are when you
get them, the more likely they are to
diappear. When I had my little growth
spurt when I just turned 9, my bra size
went from not even an a to a tight b, and
so on. I got strech marks on the upper
corner of each breast, and eventhough I am
a dd now they are gone. I also had them
behind my knees but they diappeared by
themselves too. The only ones the don't
seem to want to go away are the really
light ones on my thigh close to my hips.
Ohh well I guess. But I still don't want
any on my tummy.

Yeah, I thought something bad had
happened.
Yes, a lot of the time stretch marks do
not show up until after you shrink. I
mean, think about it. When your skin is
stretched, it is stretched so you may not
be able to see the marks. But, when you
shrink back down, you have all of this
extra skin that has tear marks in it.
