Stretch Marks

I Didn't Do It! - I was playing pick a boo with her and I got a picture of when I had surprised her.

It's been 6 months since I've had my baby and I have some stretch marks left over from the pregnancy. What did you use to get rid of them? How long does it usually take to get rid of them? Will they ever go away?

You can try some Vitamin E, but they are pretty much there to stay. Exercise and muscle toning will diminish their appearance but not remove them. Stretch marks are like battle scars...we need to learn to wear them proudly!

Sorry to say but I don't believe other then surgery there is anything you can do to get rid of them . I have never found anything anyway and would love to get rid of mine as my stomach is a mess from all the one's I have . From having so many children I have stretch marks on top of stretch marks . Also as far as I have been told there is not way to get rid of them and they don't go away , they will fade a bit with time but you will always notice them .

I tried to get rid of them through both of my pregancies but it neve worked with any of the lotions.My sister never had very much only a couple.i guess some are lucky to get by without any.They fade though in time.Surgery gets rid of some of them but costs lots of money and from what I have heard it only fades them but you can still see some faint ones just not as bad.
