Purple stretch marks ):

I had expected to get stretch marks during the pregnancy, but what I hadn't expected was purple ones ): they are awful looking right around my belly. Any moms have any suggestions on how to fade them? I have 3 weeks to go until my little man is here. And I'm guessing they're going to get worse in the next few week. It looks like I have a road map on my belly ):

Bio oil works wonders too,but its more expensive. I have nasty stretch marks that were bright read. been using it for about a month now, and they've turned kinda silvery, much less noticable than bright red!

Unfortunately that's how they look when they first appear, I got them on my sides and hips with my first..just make sure to lotion and not itch them! After baby comes get mederma stretch mark cream, it lightens them up a lot and kinda fills them in so you can't feel them as much!
