Coping with stretch marks?😭

So I’m getting ready for work and putting my pants on and my 3 year old goes “eww mommy what is that on Zo Zo?”

So I go look in the mirror and sure enough I have the start to stretch marks.

I never got them with my oldest until after delivery and only then they were on my hips, thighs & breasts.

I know I should embrace the marks but now that I have them on the front of my belly I just can’t seem to find the beauty in them😭

Anyone else feel this way or has felt this way during previous pregnancies?

Got only a few the first time around. This time it's twins (32 weeks) and i already got several of them under my belly button. It's hard on me too :/ but i guess they need space to grow and i am more than happy to provide, as long as they come out strong and healthy. 😊

If it makes you feel any better, these are mine! I'm 30 weeks tomorrow & this is my first baby! Unfortunately I'm prone to stretch marks because of genetics but I'm trying to not look at them so negatively! I mean, after all, I am growing a tiny human in there & my skin has had to do a lot of stretching to accommodate. Just remember that once you have that baby in your arms, it will all be worth it!! 😊 you probably won't even remember they're there

I’m amazed proud and grateful for a body that is healthy enough to grow a human life! If the stretch marks are a by product well I bet there are a ton of women who would do anything to have that same opportunity ❤️not always easy to stay in that mindframe but omg I can’t wait to snuggle and kiss my baby 😍

I had them bad with my first and they’re already popping out again with this one. Thankfully, and for most people I know, after baby they slowly turn silver and then even become nearly invisible.

you can try all magic creams and whatever stuff but this is just what it is. I call them my mama tiger stripes and I learned to love them 🤷🏼‍♀️
