Feeling blue about my stretch marks

Samantha

So every morning I wake up I find more and more stretch marks sprouting up all over😩 I have never had stretch marks before so this has all been a little alarming. I know it seems vain but I just wasn't expecting so many and in the places I am finding them. They started on my upper inner thigh which I could deal with since no one will see those but now they are showing all the way down to the insides of my knees! And I still have 5 more weeks so I know they are just going to get worse. Am I the only one who feels sad about this?

Not at all. I'm on baby 3 and I started getting them with my first pregnancy. Mine are thankfully really only on my belly and maybe some light ones on my hips, but I absolutely detest them. There's nothing wrong with disliking them. The good news is they do fade over time but it can take a few years for them to really subside. Don't feel alone though, I wish I never had any but I wouldn't ever trade my kids for anything either.

I'm with you! Before I didn't have any stretch marks and would always tell girls they should never shame there body's but geez my stomach is full of them!! I know nobody will see them but I feel disgusting and can not have my shirt off, I no longer feel sexy around my SO to change or do anything and don't even feel the need to get in shape after baby for summer because it's gross 😭😭
