stretch marks

Those who've gotten stretch marks...did they come 1 at a time? Could you feel them or was the skin still smooth? Were they bright red right away? I woke up this morning and it looks like very light stretch marks all over my belly button but my skin feels smooth still and they're very pale...I'm not sure if it's blood vessels under my skin or stretch marksChat Icon

Initially, yes, they came one at a time. They were very very faint and silvery and you could only see them from certain angles. My skin still felt smooth. As the pg progressed and my skin continued to stretch they appeared more quickly and more at a time and became darker. They pretty much felt smooth until after I delivered.

They suddenly appeared one day- very late in my pregnancy ( I thought I was in the clear Chat Icon Chat Icon )

I don't remember them being painful but my skin is not longer smooth there

Re: stretch marks

I got them late in the pregnancy too..started around my belly button and looked like 1 or 2...then all of a sudden one day there were a bunch!!Chat Icon THey are smooth and pink. Hopefully Moderma will work!!

Danielle, I don't know if calling the Dr. will do any good...I asked mine about them and he said it's genetics and it's like a rubberband that can only stretch so far. There is nothing they can doChat Icon

Good luck! You're almost there!

Re: stretch marks

OMG! I got a patch now and I am 13 weeks. I nearly freaked!! I have only gained 1 pound and have no idea why these evil marks would be showing up so early. They don't bother me. I just try not to look at them!!!!Chat Icon
