Put on 2 stone with my 9th pregnancy and loss and these have appeared overnight. How can I reduce the appearance of them? As if us women aren't already reminded of the babies we've lost 😢

These dont particularly look like stretch marks. Have you had a hot water bottle on your abdomen?

@Chopsuey1 yeah I have for the past week because my endometriosis is really bad. Is that the cause? 😮
