My mom told me that as soon as she had me and my sister, she wore a girdle 24/7, and that really helped her stomach go back b/c it helps you hold your muscles tight!!! I dread after I have my baby, i'm gonna be so worried about stretch marks and such

Some plastic surgeons will tell you that laser treatment will remove stretch marks, but there is no proof. The only way to actually get rid of them on your tummy is if you also need a tummy tuck, because when they cut the skin out, they also cut out the stretch marks. But, hey, who has the money for that?
