depressed... :(

I'm 38 weeks and 1 day and I just got stretch marks on my belly. It's On the one side of my lower abdomen. It started off just one but now there is a couple beside that one now.  I tried so hard to prevent them.. I used tummy butter and bio oil Atleast 3 times a day and I still got a couple.  They Are pretty light but I am still depressed about it.  I cried this morning when I saw them.  I hope when baby comes they will lighten up a bit and be less noticeable. My husband is so sweet and tells me there is nothing wrong with them and that I'm beautiful and growing a baby. But To me.. I just feel disgusting. I know my baby is worth it but jeez I was trying really hard to prevent them!! I do have a butterfly tattoo right beside them so after I am done having babies I think I'm Gonna get a couple lilly tattoos to cover it up. Anyone else going through the same thing?  What did you do to make yourself feel better?

Aww I'm sorry you are going through the same thing. Every time I look in the mirror I get depressed. :(. This Is our first baby too so I won't be able to do anything with them for awhile either.  I think when baby is actually here then I'll be Ok.  Hope You feel better.

Aw The exact same thing happened to me. I go them like at 37 weeks and cried about them a couple of times. My husband said same thing to me. He even said that when we're having kids I can try laser removal... but that's going to be a while.  Bc we are about to have our first one.

These are amazing products. Ive been using the prevention cream my entire pregnancy and at 34 weeks I am still free of any marks.

This is great also (& cheaper) if you already have marks. I saw results the first time I used it.
(On old marks I have on my thighs, not related to being pg)
