Woke up to stretch marks what can I do?

Question

I’m about 16weeks pregnant and I just noticed today behind my legs are tons of stretch marks I I just want to have a mental breakdown I’m so sad:( I don’t know why it’s so bad and it’s really only on this one leg.

Answer

Are they stretch marks or spider veins? Both are common in pregnancy, and since these are on your leg it could be spider veins. I got a few during my pregnancy as well. You can’t really do anything about them. If they’re stretch marks then I would just make sure you continue to moisturize them. They’ll get lighter as time goes on after pregnancy.

Answer

This happened with me with my first they got so big and dark right behind my knee I was devastated and so self conscious but I’m almost 4 years post and you can hardly see them anymore they have lost all there colour and I’m no longer self conscious about them
