ok, i DON"T want to know what they are, how they fade, what you use for them, or a self esteem booster. i just want to know what month of pregnancy you personally got them, how bad they were, and how they have impacted your life since. just personal experiences please, no mumbo jumbo info wanted or needed!!!

and what did/does your spouse say/think of them?

No personal experiences here. Sexy mullet lady, your husband will love you no matter what because you are bearing his child! Although I've heard some good things about Strivectin cream. Also, I've heard that eating the flesh of your closest friends will help prevent stretch marks...;-)

I was about 8-9 months when they showed up. They weren't severe enough to where they were bleeding, but they were sure damn ugly. I don't like to show my abdomen because of them, and about a year after my second child (8 years ago) they faded. Now they're white and not nearly as noticeable when I first got them. I'm 25wks with my 3rd, and the tops of them are starting to turn pink already. I have a feeling this is gonna be a big baby.

My stretch marks appeared a couple of weeks after I delivered they look like white indentions across my breasts. I was very insecure about them at first and didnt not want my spouse to see my naked body in the light it took several months of him reassuring me that I was still beautiful and that it bother him that they were there. Now when I see them I think about how wonderful it was to feel a human being grow inside of me for nine months and I know that I will always have that with me everytime I see them. Now it has become apart of me that I really couldnt let go of.

well.... i thought i was in the clear pretty much ! i never saw them until about 33 weeks pregnant and they were very faint! and only a few! mine appeared after i had the baby and my stomach went down. i noticed them the day after i gave birth. and they were bad!! but i also had not tanned in a long time so u could see them really good. about 6 months after i started tanning alot and lost weight they werent as bad! but u can still see them to this day and if you gain weight they get worse! but just remember being a mother is a great experience and just think that u may have these marks but you also have a wonderful little baby that will love you forever!

I thought I was infertile for nine years before becoming pregnant last year. When my belly erupted in stretch marks at 5 1/2 months I was ecstatic. Finally I really looked pregnant! Now Istill have them ( LOTS of them!)and view them as a map of my daughter's womb world. I wouldn't erase them if I could. Finally after years of heartache I'm a mama and have a belly that reflects that profound transformation.

I got them around 7 months with my first and they NEVER went away. I also had PUPPP rash so I was scratching constantly witch can make them WAY worse. With this baby (39wks) I have just recently got new ones but she says it is because my baby is BIG. I have only gained 21 pounds so it doesn't matter how thin and tiny you are ANYONE can get them. mine are so bad they only fade but you can still see them. products dont help. My fiance was grossed out at first but he realizes that he gets two little boys out of it and I am too old to be flaunting my tummy anyways (24yrs old). That's for high schoolers and people who DONT HAVE KIDS! They bothered me for quite awhile but I realized nobody needs to see my tummy anyways. you can dress cute without showing tummy. I have nice boobs out of the deal! I was a B cup when I got pregnant with my first now I am a DD! Pregnancy does wonders for your boobs, especially if you breastfeed. The stretchmarks are nothin. Especially when you have a little cleavege to show! my man loves it!

It varies from pregnancy to pregnancy. You can take vitamin e gel pills and bust them and rub them on stretch marks and they will begin to fade. Also you can use coco butter. All woman who have been pregnant have had them some worse than others, but unless you are going to have plastic surgery they will always be with you to a certain extent. Good luck!
