Stretch Marks
Did you use anything after giving birth that helps lighten the marks?
I can't stand to look at my belly anymore - it looks soooo gross 
TIA

Re: Stretch Marks
oooh...those first few weeks are not pretty in the belly area...
There's not much you can do about the stretch marks. They will lighten up over time. I used Vitamin E oil but I can't really tell you if it helped or not.
Someday I'll have a tummy tuck and that'll get rid of most of them.

I agree with baby avocado. Marcie they will def lighten. I have stretch marks where my belly button ring used to be and they were bright red, now they are skin color ( 7weeks pp)
Maybe try Mederma for scars/stretch marks?

Re: Stretch Marks
I noticed that mine got much lighter after a few days out in the sun.

Re: Stretch Marks
Really nothing you can do but give it time and they will eventually lighten up like everyone else said. I have very fair skin and have stretch marks all over my stomach but you can barely see them unless you really look.
