did anyone get servere stretchmarks???

[chezbear]

hi there just curious to if anyone here has suffered from servere stretchmarks, the way pregnant women are portrayed is clear skin and not a stretchmark in sight just wondering if there were any women like me that were not so lucky????
Im not ashamed of any mark my pregnancy gave me they are all a beautiful reminder of the joy that life has given me!

Yep, i got them pretty severely i would say, there was a thread here not long ago where some pics were posted, i'll find you the link so you can check it out....

Mine were shocking.
Big, angry looking things they were, and nothing worked for me, oh well, nothing to worry about next time :rolleyes: They'll just stretch hopefully to the same places, mine still look pretty shocking too, lol

[mum2littleman]

i use to think mine where bad but having seen sum other ppls {not meaning any one in pertic} mine are nothing, dont stress to much they do faid.

[squiglet]

I'm worried that I'll get them.
I'm not a big person and didn't grow fast and have never packed on a lot of weight fast, yet I still have stretchmarks on my small bb's and sides of my bum:thumbsdown:

I'm just crossing my fingers that the pregnancy ones look like the ones I've already got. You can only see them in the right light:D

I have been lucky and not gotten many, I got heaps on my breasts with the first pg, and a couple on the tummy with the second. I am very religious about moisterising every day, not sure if that makes a difference, but its kept them away in my case.

mine were shocking I don't think I have a patch of skin on my stomach that doesn't have them

[BlakeNatsMum]

I was very lucky with my son, I don't have a single stretch mark on my belly and I was pretty big with him! I did / do have them on my breasts tho, which is alright though, I don't flash them around at all! *L*... I am praying I don't get them with this preg!

[SammiJane]

I was really lucky with my two boys, i didnt get any stretch marks while i was pregnant on my belly or boosies. I gained LOTS of weight while pregnant. i got mine from loosing lots of wieght when my first marriage broke down. But not many, about three on each side. I think i will end up with more this time round, my boosies have already gone up one size and still going!

yep. all over my belly,legs,arms,love handles,down to my knees,boobs- well lets just say my face does not have any.:p and the ones on my tum are deep like they have been dug out with a knife:eek:

[WitchHazel]

My stomach was covered in them! I don't really care much. During the preg, my MIL kept asking me "Do you have stretchmarks?". I did, but I didn't really care much. I've never been hung up on my physical appearance!

[SairBear]

i got stretch marks on my tum and afew on my boobs.. they got redish with preg #1 then dissapeared to silvery colour my tum is getting afew redish ones again with my growing belly.. i aint worried ...
u either get them or u dont
my sis in law whos a size 8 ( always been skinny) model has them all over her hips and thighs .... so ppl of all sizes get em, even if they havent put on weight fast

[Jodiee]

I have been lucky so far, not 1 stretch mark, my biggest baby was 10lb 2oz as well, with as the midwife said "at least a gallon of waters", so I was absolutely massive, so I have been lucky.
I do have loose skin tho, which I will exercise away. (if I can....lol)

[damien's mum]

I had them before i was even pregnant, from my weight, so alot of them just went darker, but bio oil... IT WORKS WONDERS!!! i swear by it!

[Becteria]

I have horrible ones, they are getting dark again (yuck!!) I really exploded in the last two months of my pregnancy, I'm a bigger girl anyway but hadn't lost the baby flab (is this a side effect of the csearen or laziness, ha ha ha ha!!!) My breast grew overnight when i was 16 - from a B to an E. So i had already experienced the horror of stretchmarks. Nowarning just BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have resigned myself to the fact i will never be a swimsuit model so who cares. I just want to get past the stage of looking fat but not pregnant - my belly is past my boobies now.... not much longer!

[FourAngelKisses]

I got horrible ones because I get so big so quickly with big babies. I gained 20kg with all 3 of my pregnancies and I gained about 1000 stretchmarks on my butt, boobs, stomach and thighs. They don't bother me though, they are trophies of my acheivements.
Heres a pic of mine taken this pregnancy.

[chezbear]

it weird we all have them but yet to have stretchmarks out in public is just not a done thing, I've had stretchmarks since i was 8 months pregnant and it bothered me a little at first but thinking about it now i gain just under 40 kilos with Dante so i was bound to have some repercussions over that.
just hopin i dont get any new ones with this one lol ( if theres any room )
