Q: Painful incredibly Stretchmarks.
asked by: arcadia on March 4th, 2007

i am going absolutely nuts.

my stretchmarks are just absolutely intolerable. they itch, hurt, burn, sting. i noticed in the shower today that i even have like 3 weird looking red bumps on my belly. kind of almost like sores, but not really. i can't even stand it anymore. it's constant. lotion doesn't help, nothing helps. i've cried everyday the past few days because it just hurts so bad.

i have a doctors appointment .tuesday, so .i'm going to ask about it then.

my mom said it sounds kinda like puppp.

gaaaabe when will you come out & stop torturing me!!!

Crying or Very sad

My sister had that, the doc had to prescribe a steroid lotion for her to clear it up.

I'm sorry .krissy. Sad
I hope .gabe comes out soon so you can feel some relief and we can finally meet him. It seems like your pregnancy has lasted 10 years! And .michelles seemed to only last a couple months, how strange. Hang in there girl! I wish I could come down there n' take you to get a nice relaxing massage! You really deserve one.

hmm, i wonder if i had puppp and didn't know it. after i had finn i itched so bad that i would scratch until i drew blood, my thighs and butt cheeks were the worst but it was also my lower back, stomach, and down to my ankles. i thought it was just a normal postpartum reaction to the hormones leaving my body (or something) so i never mentioned it to my doctor. it stopped around 2 weeks pp.

he'll be here soon and you'll have relief! i thought of you at target today, every time i see that amy coe peanuts stuff i think of you.

I was the same way!!! My God!!

THe worst thing about stretchmarks is after you have the baba, your belly feel/looks like a brutally mauled deflated balloon Crying or Very sad.

I'm going try on my wedding dress for the last time, and it's so hard for me. I used to be in a 7/9...now I'm ina 12...and a 16(barely) wedding dress.

Oh well...I'd hate to fix my body, then get preggy again...would defeat the purpose in my eyes!!

Krissy, a lil tip for lotion. WHen you put it on, let it *totally* dry. Walk around for 5 mins w/your shirt up if ya got too. If you put your shirt down too soon, you'll be hydrating your shirt, as opposed to your belly! Took me till after I had .oni to realise that.... Rolling Eyes

Yea, they stuck out when I was preggy, now they are severly dented in. It's a disguisting sight. So don't ever feel like your alone when it comes to body demolition! meh..Sad ::sigh::

ANyways, I'm getting my dress from .david's .bridal. It's the *only* dress that they couldn't give to me off the rack. It had to be ordered. It's beautiful! 600 dollars effin beautiful...(we're paying for 75 percent of the wedding..& anything to do with it)

It's cream and champaign. I would show it to yall from the site. But the pics really do no justice to in person, or personal pics. Ya know?
