Stretch marks

I have stretch marks yes, I have also had four children. I would never wear anything too revealing on the beach because I hate the stretch marks and although they have faded they are still pretty visible in places and so I will keep covered up even on the beach.

After two kids and 40 years i would be expected to have them but havent. Lol, i was given a tip by a health worker who told me to smear my swollen belly with cocobutter. I did this and it seems to have worked blessed be

I did not get any stretch marks after having my only child. I am 53 years old and have no stretch marks of any king. Now, my daughter has double stretch marks, she has them for me too. They are so bad and deep too. They look terrible and hurt sometimes too. There is no way that she can wear a two piece swimsuit.

My stomach looks like a roadmap!!!! LOL. Granted I have 2 kids and went from 115 pounds to 198.5 pounds! My youngest is 3 now and they have really faded over the last few years. A two piece is definately out of the question, but I surprisingly dont miss bikinis all that much, Im not one for showing off my stomach anyway. I have lost all the baby weight and I am back down to 115, but still not comfortable with it anyway.

i have had 2 kids and NO i dont have any stretch marks i was thankful!! and for you to have had 4 kids an dnot have many than girl yu are doing good. my friend had a baby and she was not very big but dang she was covered in stretch marks .. i guess ther are some that are LUCKY!!!

i have stretch mark at my lower back, i got it even before i was pregnant. i also have one in both of my thighs, good thing it's not to obvious.

gosh I have more stretch marks than I care to count, it is just awful.

I have stretch marks on my thighs just from getting fat really, I've never had children so I can't blame anyone but myself.

Well, I'm 6 month pregnant now, so far I don't have any stretch marks yet, and hopefully I won't get any later too. I started to apply stretch mark lotion in order to prevent the stretch mark as soon as I knew I am pregnant, perhaps the lotion works well.

I have some from growing a tremendous amount between third and fourth grade. I had the worst growing pains! They are under my arms, and on the back of my legs. Not the prettiest things in the world most definitely. I try that Shea Butter stuff that says it helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

i have stretch marks in my belly and my stomach is still big and sloppy..i gave birth last june 21st this year and yes now i have 3 kids already...i do not like to wear short blouses or shirts or anything that will make show my belly...it is just plain gross to look at and besides it is not appropriate for my age anymore to dress profanely...i also like to be covered and comfortable...right now i like wearing shorts and sleeveless blouses.

I had my first child thirteen years ago and got many stretch marks after having him. The marks faded after five years and disappeared after ten years. Then I had my second child eighteen months ago. I didn't get an stretch marks from having him. With both my children I had normal births, the first one I labored in water. The second one I didn't have any pain relief because it all happened so quickly. I did wear a bikini during the two years before my second pregnancy. How old are your children? Are they boys or girls? It must be lovely to have twins my friend Anne 18.

Hi Anne18 I don't I have any strectch marks that are visable as not one of my three were particularly big babies, 2 under 7lb and one just over. I still wouldn't wear a 2 piece as my age and flabby tummy won't allow it!!

Hiya anne, Even before my children were born I was not one to flaunt it but yes my stretch marks were quite bad after having my daughter because I was so big carrying her and I'm only little and even though I carry more weight nowadays, I was only slim so from the back I looked normal but my was I big, pregnant with her, so once I had given birth and my stomach went back down these stretch marks were right up above my waist but I can honestly say they never bothered me they showed I'd had children which I'm very proud of. She's 13 now so over time they have faded and not so bad at all. With my boys I carried them more round and the stretch marks I only had a few from them which again are not so bad now.

when i was still single, i was really skinny... and when i got pregnant i did have stretch marks... if only there are ways of getting rid of the stretch marks...
