Stretch marks

Please see my stretch mark pics. Will these be likely to silver off and vanish?

Was talking to one of my friends last night who said they will never go and one of her friends still has the big red lines like my pic and she had her son 14 years ago 🥴

I was honestly under the impression that after birth they would start to go silver and although not completely disappear but become invisible. I had big red ones on my boobs which have silvered off but I’m shitting my pants now thinking I’m gonna have these marks forever 😖 my son is worth every single one but it’s not ideal to look like I’ve had a cat drag it’s claws down my stomach 😂

I do use cream and I do what I can to minimise but I’m aware that if you are going to get them there’s not really much you can do about it

They won't stay red but I'd say you'll still see them. I have big deep stretch marks in my lower stomach that are silvery now. I'm not a believer in expensive stretch mark cream either, I plastered my tummy in Bio oil during and after. I don't think it made any difference. Wear those tiger stripes with pride!

Mine went like this with my 2nd... they will fade but always be there of course good thing is I'm on number 3 now and not really got any red ones and not really got any new ones either.. Bonus! X

@bobisbored yeah my friend was selling the bio oil to me saying it’s the best thing and she didn’t get any marks at all due to this, but everyone is different so can’t definitively say that bio oil is the key to no stretchies! Yep I’m a proud member of the tiger club 🐯
