Nothing will get rid of stretch marks in two months. But try putting Alo Vera gel on them, and vitimen E oil, or a product with lots of vitimen E. Both of these things have been shown to decrese the appearance of scars... over time.
For now, to lessen the appearance, you could put a water-proof foundation on them... not very heavy. I wouldn't try to cover them completely, or you'll be able to see the make up.
Tanning will help cover them up (though it isn't a cure), but do NOT go to a tanning bed. They will make the marks worse at first, and the bad effects of tanning faaarrr outweigh stetch marks. Instead, get a light, fake tan if you want to go this way.

There really is no "cure". Basically you are out of luck. You could try to use fake tanning solutions (which could end up giving you a really bad streaking look). You could also try going to the tanning bed several times. This may actually turn your strech marks red at first, but will eventually tan them and make them a little less noticeable. Otherwise, the only other solution is to keep a shirt on, wear a tankini if on your boobs and belly and if they are on your legs really bad I would buy a wrap to wear around your hips.

There is a type of lotion that you can get from Walmart. Its Palmers Coco Butter for stretch marks. Its a white bottle with a drawing of a pregnant woman on the front. It works.

i agree. i got stretchmarks during pregnancy but afterwards i went on a tanning bed once a week and they gradually became less noticeable. i dont think the stretchmarks change colour but the rest of my skin was more matched to the colour of the marks. overtime stretchmarks lose colour and fade anyway, there is nothing to be ashamed of, it is very common problem in women as their body changes

don't worry about them to much just wear a one piece if they are on your stomach real bad,and wear a wrap around your hips if need be. Enjoy your self I WISH I WAS GOING WITH YOU!
