stretch marks :-(

Am I the only one that feels down about my stretch marks?
To me they look really bad and I know it's all for a good cause but I just cant help hating them. My partner says he can't even see them but I know he's lying just to make me feel better. There only on my stomach but I use coco butter and belly lotion all the time. It might just be my hormones but they do make me feel down :-( x

I call them my tiger stripes :-) and i worked hard for them. they do fade with time so don't be to discouraged. But hopefully it's a different way of looking at it.

I was so happy to get my first one at 33 weeks with my first son, little did i know in the next 7 weeks he tore my belly apart! After birth i was so concious and hated them.  Almost two years after havong him im at peace with them and son no 2 is doing a good job of making them red again. I cant imagine my body without them now, they are apart of me. They do fade, and that does take time, some peoples fade entirely. By the end of my last pregnancy i had them from my belly, boobs, hips, butt, thighs all the way down to my calfs.
