Is there any way to get rid of these marks?

I Had a baby 11 weeks ago and have these tummy stretch marks now. I think I probably need to live with them and accept them, and perhaps if I’m lucky they might fade over time, but I wondered on the offchance if there might be anything I can do to get rid of them? I thanks

They will fade with time, I found bio oil good for stretch marks. Congratulations on your baby.

They'll fade over time and won't be nearly as visible. There are laser treatments available but I've not personally tried any.

They will fade. Mine had gone by 6 months. I hated the patience cry, because I felt so ugly, but it is true of the back fat rolls, stretch marks, weird shape etc etc

Thanks all. I thought they might have faded more by now 11 weeks in but hopefully it will happen over time, and I’ll use some bio oil in the hope it helps.

They’re scars like any other, takes a lot longer than 11 weeks for them to fade. Moisturising usually does help with the healing a little bit faster though.
