current mood: *distressed*
I look at the mirror this morning and found out my stretch marks had gotten BIGGER! After I had Miguelito, those marks were less visible, I can still even wear two piece swim suit.

I was happy about it. But now, I suddenly feel distressed looking at those marks. Good bye two piece swim suits! I increased more weight on the 5th month, my tummy suddenly has gotten bigger which might have caused this or my less application of baby oil and body butter might have caused it too, because back when I was pregnant with Miguelito I daily apply baby oil and body butter to reduce itchiness and for the fear of having those ugh! stretch marks. =( It did work somehow.
As per research, some causes for this unwanted marks are age and genes. Younger skin are more likely to get them than the older ones. So for those women who are planning to get pregnant or those who are still in their first trimester, apply baby oil or body butter to LESSEN those unwanted stretch marks. Lotions didn’t work for me that’s why it had gotten bigger this time. There may be procedures to lessen the visibility of those marks but nothing can totally erase them. Boo hoo!
*I do not want you to see the grossy marks so i won’t post them.

Those are actually the biggest reasons why I don’t wanna get pregnant. Hehe. But I read that you can make a homemade cream of some sort to help diminish their visibility.
Hi, I might have something that will help you with your strecth marks. I am using these wraps and cream on mine and they are starting to look and feel much better. I have really wide and red ones. About an 3/4 inch wide. They have gotten a bit smaller over the years. But now I’ve had them for 35 years. I finally found something that is making a difference. This company also has “Stretch Mark cream” I haven’t tried that yet. I am using only the “Defining Gel” and the Ultimate Body Applicator” You might want to look at these products. But you look great anyway.
