I'm 15+4 with #3 and have a belly full of em. They get lighter after each baby, but never go away and I don't mind it. It just reminds me that I've given life to some beautiful babies!

I didn't have them throughout my first pregnancy until literally the last week of pregnancy probably my fault because I was past due and wanted to have my baby naturally, ended up using Maderma and in 3 weeks they were no longer red they are actually the same color as the rest of my skin and below my belly button and they aren't noticeable unless ur face is on my belly looking for them. Definitely started using it again with this second pregnancy just in case I get them again.

As soon as I found out I was pregnant I started using coco butter (at 5 weeks). Now I'm 10 weeks, havent gained any weight and not showing, and have TONS of new stretch marks all over my belly. I switched to Bio-Oil which seems to be helping a little more. I really don't know what else to try. You're lucky you're just now getting them! Haha.

It happens. I remember with my first pregnancy i was practically religious about applying cream. And then later in pregnancy, i started slacking. I remember my stomach itching at work and a coworker making a comment "better use that cocoa butter girl" i laughed it off cus my mom n sister didnt get any. And then BAM! One day u look in the mirror and youre a tiger. They fade tho. The color will lighten and they will not be so deep after some weights lost.
