I have a 5 month old. My stretchmarks are just as red and big as the day I had my son.
Eventually they will go down and be less noticable as you lose your weight from the pregnancy but unfortunately stretch marks will never go away.

No, they won't completely fade away. Now is the time to try and get rid of them. Use cocoa butter with vitamin e. You will see results if you use it twice a day, faithfully. Plus, it will prevent you from getting new stretch marks.

They will fade away to silvery lines, eventually, but only over a period of time. Try using a Cocoa Butter body cream after your daily shower/bath. There are also other creams which you can buy - ask your pharmacist or midwife. (your midwife may have some free samples of various creams you can try)

Yes they will fade to silver streaks, my son is 15 months, and all of them are silver now. You can buy creams like cocoa butter or anti-stretchmark, but they are expensive, and my doctor told me that they are just a gimmick and will not help. If your belly gets itchy, the avenno anti-itch mositurizer is great. Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do to prevent them.

We'll butter up that belly with cocoa butter, petrolium jelly, aloe vera, vitamin E, etc... but there's no guarantee they won't continue showing up...
Especially that last 1 1/2 months, when the belly gets bigger and bigger b/c the baby is in a tight space due to size...
Best advice on this one just get usto your tiget marks as I call them... :-) good luck

nope, it comes with the package. I start to have my first stretch mark now. But try to use coco butter cream and massage. It helps with the itchiness and lighten the strech mark.

Eventually. But use the special stretchmark lotion to prevent more from coming. Use it like crazy! I have a 5 month old and my stomach got TORE UP!! And my stretchmarks are still noticable.

Eventually they'll go white so they arent too visible. Its suggested that rubbing moisturiser or coconut oil into your belly will help lessen the amount you have, although I dont think there is much scientific evidence to back that up

I may be the exception, but mine did fade away. I am still stuck with the c-section scars, however.
