Will stretch marks on thighs go away or fade?
I am 34 weeks today. My prepregnanct weight was about 135. I am more pear shaped, so I carry my weight in my thighs. Obviously with this pregnancy, which is my first, a lot of extra weight has gone to my thighs. I'm about 160 now.
While I know that this is in the normal range of weight gain, it has been very disheartening how badly my skin has stretched in my thighs. I've always been the most self conscious of my thighs, and now I have deep purple stretch marks going all down the inside of my thighs. On my right leg, they extend almost to my knee.
Did anyone else experience deep, purple stretch marks on their thighs?
I guess what I would most like to know is what to expect in a couple of months. Will using Bio Oil dramatically help? Or will time help to lighten them? Or because they are so deep and purple, is this something I'm pretty much stuck with?
I don't mean to complain, since I feel so lucky that I am blessed to carry my baby and stretch marks are part of the package when it comes to creating and carrying a life. I know that every stretch mark is worth it. Just curious on who else has experienced this and what, if anything, helped?
