I had a baby three years ago and I have a lot of stretch marks. How can I make them go away?

I`m afraid other than surgery not much can be done..but they fade in time and I feel sure you are more aware of them than anyone else...besided they are battle scars for getting a wonderful child...

I've had stomach problems my whole life pretty much and around the same time you had your baby I was gaining allot of weight from these stupid pills my doctor put me on. I'm naturally a very thin person so you can imagine the stretch marks when I started to gain. While the pills did help my stomach they made me gain weight so like a year later they took me off of them and put me on something different. I lost the weight pretty fast because I have a fast metabolism but I had stretch marks. Here is what I did:
1) Moisturize twice A day with cocoa butter...really slather it on then let it dry.
2) Take vitamin E
3) Exercise to get your body firm and tone...do exercises to work every muscle in your body.
Ok, after I did all that for a while you could barely see any stretch marks, only if you looked really close. And then, to cover them up even further I use self-tanner (Arbonne is the best, it doesn't streak but just fade and looks soo natural) and you won't be able to tell you have any!

stretch marks are really genetic....but if you're willing to try and get rid of most of them...just try to use some creams, exercise, if everything else fails u can do surgury.
you can also research on the web about this question...or even ask your doctor about this.

Learn to love your body the way it is. There is not too much you can do to get rid of stretchmarks. They WILL fade a little. But they won't completely go away. My oldest "child" is 18 now and I still have those pregnancy battle wounds! They are a part of me.

Well I'm no expert but you could try cocoa butter it works well on my cousin who just had a baby or you could try one of those surgerys.
