Stretch marks

Hey All

I had my bub 3 months ago and havent lost a single kg and have the worst stretchmarks ever! I am feeling awful about myself and really need to find something to get my body looking ok again.
Has anyone found any stretchmark cream or treatment that actually works? And how do you get rid of a flabby tummy?
Any advice would be helpful

Thanks

Hey Hun, I know how you feel about stretch marks and the flabby tummy, I thought I was going so well in pregnancy to get to the 36 week mark & have no stretch marks, unfortunately I spoke too soon, I got really fluidly towards the end of pregnancy and ended up with stretch marks all over my boobs down my thighs and on my tummy, I have been able to breastfeed which is an excellent weightloss program, my dd is 6 months almost 7 and my flabby tummy has almost returned to normal, but of course the skin will always be a little bit looser than it was. I have hear bio oil works well on stretch marks but I haven't actually tried it, I always forget persistency. But my stretch marks have just started to fade now.

The best cure to stretch marks is patients I believe, you will always be able to see them but they fade alot, mine are hardly noticeable. I have been told by friends to Just remember you were pregnant for 9 months so expect it to Take that long to return to normal

Hope this makes you feel better hun x

Bio-oil definitely the thing for stretch marks. It doesn't get rid of them but they fade to be far less noticeable.
Only thing for a flabby tummy is exercise & eating healthy unfortunately!
I've got an ab-circle pro (acquired from a friend who fell off & broke her wrist so never wanted to get back on again!) & that has worked wonders - if you don't have one then cardio & crunches will do the job.

I had the worst stretch marks ever during my pregnancy. They were masssive red/purple ones and my tummy was covered with them. It made me so self conscious as I used bio oil EVERYDAY and it didnt do anything.

After I had bub the looked even worse and a friend recommended a product from Mecca Cosmetica. Its called This Works Stretch mark oil. Its all natural and is FANTASTIC. Its been 6 months and unless you look close you cant see the strecth marks grin !!!!!!!! It works wonders!!

I team it with Nivea Body Firming lotion (in most supermarkets and not too expensive) and it has helped my tummy skin get some firmness back to it smile

3 months isn't that long hun! Seriously, don't waste your money on fad creams. The only thing I reckon works is time time time and perhaps bio oil. But waiting is really the best thing you can do.

I lost 15 kilos in 4 months after DD was born breastfeeding and doing zumba smile

I don't believe that creams/ oils really work sorry hun. They apparently don't even soak down to the lower layers of skin, where the damage occurs.
But in saying that I did use bio oil throughout my pregnancy just in case haha! I still ended up with a few stretchmarks on my tummy, quite a few on my waist and hips and loads on my boobs sad

Just remember 9 months on, 9 months off. Its still early days and you have had enough on your plate without worrying about a few marks or an untoned stomach. I would say just add a few hills to your walks and replace a few bad foods with fruit and veges. But above all be kind to yourself xxx

After I had my daughter I took her for a walk in the pram for half an hour every day and lost 12 kg in a month. It's hard for the motivation when you're so exhausted, but I would just gorse myself by jumping on the scales and reminding myself how much better I would look and feel. Bio oil worked tremendously for me.

I'm in the same boat. I put on 25kg and it's super hard to lose it 'cause all my skin is still loose. But i'm persistent. I take long walks with the pram everyday and i've stopped eating sugary foods. I used bio oil all through my pregnancy but i'm still COVERED in stretch marks, the oil did nothing although I was told it's the best. I still use it but it doesn't seems to be fading them any faster than if I wasn't using anything at all. I feel horrible about myself. I still feel like a skinny girl so when I see myself in the mirror it's always a terrible shock and I start to cry and bring myself down.. All I can say is I'll be pretty again one day.

My doctor recommended using paw paw ointment.. I was too lazy and now I am covered but they have started to fade now but I don't mind my stretch marks at all now, in fact I'm quite proud of them smile

i think we cannot escape from stretch marks.....
i know its hard to believe but its true....... don't waste ur money on dam oils n etc.,
