Anyone else getting super insecure about their stretch marks?

Question

FTM here. I’m only 21, never really cared how my body looked before now. In fact I have stretch marks on both of my boobs. But I have dark stretch marks on my belly. And I’m feeling super insecure about it. I am so happy that I am growing my little one but just not used to the permanent change it’s done. 😓😓😓

Answer

I had angry looking ones with my first, and they faded SO MUCH. You need to stick your face in my hip to see them. Not all the changes are permanent

Answer

FTM and also 21 over here. So I haven’t got any stretch marks on my stomach yet. However, I have a whole bunch of deep purple stretch marks on my butt which make me feel so insecure now. They are all over! I honestly look like I got attacked by a bear. 
As pitiful as it sounds, I was having sex with my fiancé and I legit just stopped in the process and started crying because I was worried he would think something of my marks. He held me and comforted me. I know they don’t bother him and I feel a bit better now but it’s still hard. 
I just have to remind myself that that’s just the price we pay for something so beautiful.

Answer

Frm and 21 also! Im not bothered by the one on my tummy or hips as i already had a few but i now have some angry purple ones on my boobs and i can hardly let my fiance look at my boobs anymore from being so insecure about them.

Answer

They will fade a lot! I was really sad when I got them with our first, but I actually love them now. They remind me of when I was the only one to carry my son and the special time of being pregnant.
