I'm not sure where to post this...
So, after having baby I have a lot of stretch marks on my thighs, butt, and boobs - it seems my belly was the only area spared and it was the area that stretched the most! I was wondering if you used something you felt help get rid of these or if it just takes time (and how much)? I'm not stressing about these too much, but I am kind of ready to have my body back! I have been using Palmers Coca Butter.

Well, mine are still here after 20 years!!! They do fade a bit, but they are badges of courage!!!!

I hate to say this, but I have done alot of research on this as I have had stretch marks since I was 11yrs old but they need to be chalked up to mommy "battle scars". Aside from procedures like laser therapy, etc. there is nothing that gets rid of stretch marks. Even laser surgery, etc. doesn't really produce results (maybe in some cases). My MIL works at a laser center and says don't bother getting it done (if anyone has had it done and it worked, post so we know).

Good news is that it pays to keep the skin moisturized and nice as it improves the texture and the red marks do fade over time to w silverish, whitish color (depending on your skin color). I got a whole lotta stretchies on my belly after baby. I used a TON of Palmers and cocoa butter but if you have the genetics for it (and you gain alot of weight) stretch marks happen.

Well, I can at least hope that they fade. Thanks for being honest! I will just hope that lotion does the trick!
