| They will fade! Try bio-oil or clarins tonic oil. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | yeah i agree dont worry too much about them!!! I was reading last night that the majority do fade in the first 6 months!!!
They also advertised some creams that are about £70 though.... but if your interested in spending that much let me know and Ill dig the mag out!!!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | aww hun they really don't look bad, as munchkin said they will fade. Just remember to keep moisturising after your LO is here. Drink plenty of water, in a few weeks i'm sure you will hardly notice them at all!

| I've had stretch marks most of my life - was really big as a child. Have tried loads of creams etc and they have faded a lot, but I don't think the expensive creams do much as they don't disappear with them. Just keep them moisturised and hopefully it might stop you getting more.
Don't worry about it though!

| i knew i wouldnt be able to keep stretchmarks at bay but they look really bad.
its alright until i look in the mirror,if i just look down at my bump a cant really see them.
ive been rubbing oil into them daily.
i guess i should be proud of them and i will always have a sign on my body to show i have carried my baby for 9 months.
leeds- no im not gonna pay £70 for some bloody cream.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I wouldn't worry too much. I remember when I was pregnant, didn't get them until the last minute, they were red raw, itchy and very sore!
Just keep them well moisturised to keep them from getting sore and dry. Mine faded a few months after I gave birth, now im left with silvery ones but they're not too bad at all! |
