Stretch marks....😣😶😲☹

Di

My stretch marks are pretty bad! I just gave birth 18 days ago and I already lost my pregnancy weight. Not complaining there! However, I wonder if that's why my stretch marks are so prominent?! I used lotions and oils during the pregnancy. I feel like they didn't work at all! Any suggestions post-partum?! What worked for you?!?! I do like what they symbolize but if I can do something to lighten them, I'd love to hear them! TIA!
