I am not ashamed of my stretch marks. They are reminders of how skinny I was ; ) and how much I let my child change my body so I could love and be with her!!! Face it...they are battle scars! They will fade...and after awhile you won't even notice. Your man...on the other hand...could care less. He wants sex! Get over it and put out woman! lol!

I totally understand. When I met my fiance I was 130 pounds and could wear anything. Then I got pregnant. My daughter will be 2 in May and as of right now I weigh 190 pounds and Im pregnant again. I felt the same way after I had my daughter. My fiance will be together for 3 years in May and I just tell him how I feel about my looks and he loves me the way I am. Just talk to your partner. Are you with the same man you had a child with? If so, he should totally get why you look different. It was because of a beautiful baby and he should love you regardless. Hope that helps.

Hey girl! Don't feel too bad. I had a thousand stretch marks too! I looked down recently and reailzed... they're gone!! I haven't even been paying attention, I have been so busy with my toddler!! My husband always says that he thinks I am hot anyway. I hope your hubby is like that too! We all go through body image problems after giving birth. Just realize that you are in the same boat with millions of women and that you are beautiful no matter what! (lol just when I got rid of the stretch marks I am on the way to getting more!)

I wasnt small, but I did get stretchmarks. They have faded ALOT since I had my baby 8 months ago. I was embarrassed at how different my body looks but you need to realize that your partner is so in love with you and appreciative for you going thru everything you did to have that baby. Your body will come back! If my friend, who has MAJOR body image issues, can work on getting her mojo back after having a baby 5 months ago anyone can. Talk to your partner and let them know that you're feeling insecure. You should be able to lean on them now more than ever!

I don't have stretch marks but some of my friends do. The strertch marks usually fade in time, though they won't go away completely. If it makes you feel better they have a cream you can buy at any department store. A few of my friends had very good results from it.

Use Palmers Cocoa Butter Lotion for Stretch Marks. It helped me. Dont worry too much, the marks will fade given time. My daughters 19 months old and I had really ugly stretch marks when she was first born. Now you cant even see them unless you're really looking for them. The marks probly dont bother your partner. He has to understand you just had a baby, and having a baby can wreak havoc on your body. My partner didnt even notice my stretch marks until I actually pointed them out. They didnt bother him a bit!

well even if the baby was small it is normal to have stretch marks even if it it small. And if your boyfriend or husband had a baby with you then he shouldnt care if you have stretch marks or not.
i hope that can help you out somehow.
