Stretch marks & struggling 😭

FTM and really first time with stretch marks on my stomach. I’ve had stretch marks on my inner thighs before but cocoa butter and lots of water/working out helped them go away/become nonexistent.

Any tips or suggestions with dealing with tummy stretch marks? I currently use cocoa butter and bio oil 2-3 times a day and drink lots of fluids. I wish I was a girl who wouldn’t let something like this bug her & everyone says embrace them, but I’m only human and I hate them 😭 I have always struggled with body image so this is really breaking me down.

I know it’s all part of growing my perfect baby boy, but seriously nothing prepares you mentally and emotionally for all the sacrifices you give for your baby.

Any advice/tips or just help is really appreciated 😓
