    Maderma scar removal cream does wonders. It has a purple lid. Its expensive for a small tube but it last a while:)

    I had really bad stretch marks from #1, but walgreens sells this little stick of pure cocoa butter that really helped, and its only like a dollar. It's in a yellow tube, not lotion, just a stick. Should help bunches

    That's what a lot of people said they will fade just not nice I found bio oil is helping making them lighter but I do feel as you said a walking tiger lol. Oh its me in bedroom I can't put enough layers on and feel ugly I try hide from him! I love my bump but hate my confidence :(

    Do you have leg problems to while sleeping?..

    Thanks guys :) ill have to send boyfriend out on a lotion and potion hunt lol.. I know they will never dissapear but not to be so dark will do me good. What do you think to tattoing over them?
  • katlillykatlilly
    @cherry_bump They wont tattoo over them, or a good artist won't anyway. Not a good idea, it would look worse. It'd be like tattooing over scar tissue
    I used a Shea butter body wash ( bath and body works spa line ) and lotion after. I didn't get very many the first pregnancy.
    They'll fade with some care. Even girls who aren't preggo get them :) at least you'll have a good reason! ;)

    are you getting like cramps in your legs? If so could be from too much calcium. Eat a banana! Yum!!

    @cherry_bump Yea I have an athletic build and so I'm small and got stretch marks when I was a preteen/teenager from growing so fast. I used to be very self conscious but they have faded and aren't very noticeable to anyone but me. Just remember, you are beautiful and the baby you are carrying will bring you so much joy! Do something for yourself that will make you feel sexier. Like go to the gym, get your nails done, take sexy pics for your man... all those things will build your confidence and before you know it, you will be the sexy woman you "used" to be.. although you still are!!

    I get leg cramps bad. Try to eat lots of bananas. And drink lots of water. Also stretching or having someone rub them before you sleep helps.use a pillow been tired knees/legs when you sleep also.

And I sleep with pillow supporting my bump it also goes between my legs and they go dead its draining all my energy I just wanna sleep and hurts and struggle to walk, I think the stretch marks I am gonna have to get over them I'd rather have my daughter than perfect body she gonna be so worth it :) can't wait!

    if you were getting leg cramps a lot of time it's due to all the calcium we take it. Bananas are full of potassium which combats the extra calcium helping those cramps disappear :)
