stretch marks ++Do they Fade? How Long does it take?

[cosima]

I gave birth 3 weeks ago, they are quite severe and very red. i am 36. What will make them better or should I have elaborate flame tattoo rising from a phoenix fanjo?

great idea! mine from dd1 have faded to white/silvery lines now - try bio-oil or cocoa butter (palmers on them)

oh sorry, and congratulations on wee one, hope you're both doing well

how long did it take for them to fade to silvery lines?

em, I can't remember to be honest, maybe a year but I wasn't very dilligent with the creams etc and my stomach is in such a state after these kids am just holding off for a lottery win and a mummy job when family is all done
