@Boymummy3 that's what I'm fearing ha. Iv just come to terms with mine and my little one is 6.. I really think it's genetics but I'll try everything I can to stop getting more xx

Well I got like a couple with my 1st mainly little ones around belly button/boobs and he was 5 by time I had my 2nd I didn't expect to get loads of course you dont know what to expect with your 2nd but I got awfull ones bright red and massive on my sides etc and he was a bigger baby... but my 2nd is now 3 and they have faded alot over the years..I can still see them but they are not as bad x just try using creams etc but like you say it probally is genetics x

I got off lightly in my first pregnancy but DS2 was the size of a Shetland pony and did all the damage! On the plus side I'm 37 weeks on my third now (albeit 10 year gap!) and I haven't got any more although this baby is smaller than DS was which isn't hard lol
They did fade to white after second pregnancy though and were hardly noticeable after a while, especially with a good fake tan.

@Casander a Shetland pony 😭😂 bet your relieved this ones a bit smaller hahah.. yeah mine have faded but I just know they are then and absolutely hate them, I got them one day before my due date which annoyed me more hahah. But they can't be help I suppose and as long as the little ones are healthy 🤷🏼‍♀️ xx
