Stretch marks

Erika

Anyone else wake up and randomly have stretch marks?

This morning I woke up and noticed stretch marks by my nipples and it took me by surprise and now I’m really insecure. I thought I was moisturizing enough, but nope guess my skin decided to go against me. I know stretch marks are genetic but I know my mom never got them. Naturally I have really small boobs, 2 years ago I got a very small breast augmentation (I’m talking going from a small A cup to a full B cup) just to feel a little more womanly but not go crazy. I never got stretch marks then, and now because of pregnancy obviously they’re getting bigger, but I never thought this would happen. Especially since I take care of them and drink a ton of water/moisturize.

Does anyone know how to avoid further stretch marks from happening? Or how to not make these ones worse?

Mine are very minor since they’re brand new. I have stretch marks on my inner thighs and hips, and those make me super insecure. I never thought I would get them on my boobs. In the past 8 years I’ve dealt with body issues (weight, skin, etc), ocd, and anxiety. I finally have gotten so much better with my mindset of how I see myself, I know pregnancy is beautiful and you get the best gift ever but I’m afraid my body issues/ocd are going to come back. I just hope these get lighter and better and I don’t have to worry about them, because being obsessive and anxious is the worst feeling in the world.

P.S. I cried to my husband this morning and showed him, all he said was, “baby your tits are amazing”. Thank god I got me a good one...
