So im 29 weeks and ive always been a very small girl...im 5"8 and pre pregnancy weighed 115 ive gained 25 lbs and im still skinny my bump is pretty small but my butt is covered in stretch marks): I have always been self conscious of my body and my husband is currently deployed to Afghanistan and wont return home til soon after our son is born. I am so scared that he wont be attracted to me anymore:/ am I the only one that feels this way

Does bio oil also make them fade?

Walmart, I just got the original, you can get the kind that's for stretch marks, too, but I never tried that kind

[yourstruly21]

I will definitely have to pick some up. Where do they sell it at

[donnabaker442]

Mederma was a waste of money for me but I love bio oil and it is way cheaper

Mine are purple (I got them on my stomach with my previous pregnancy, no new ones to my knowledge yet, but the old ones have resurfaced) too, and I used the mederma I think it's 2x a day for a while, you almost couldn't tell. Even using nothing they will fade, the mederma is like 18$ for a tube, but I loved it!

Oh really! Ill have to buy some of that! I have super pale skin and my stretch marks are PURPLE so id like them to at least blend with the rest of my skin tone

Thanks!

He will be attracted to you, trust me! My husband always thought of it as it was his child that did it, nothing to be ashamed of. If you're really worried try mederma after you deliver, it REALLY works at fading stretch marks afterwards!
