 stretchmarks may seem awful to us but to our husbands and partners they generally are not , , i think alot of men see our bodys as even more amazing after carrying thier child, my husband loves every strcth mark on my body! and that goes for every new wrinkle that appears too! if they love you it shouldnt matter to them .
one thing i am trying to do to help them is to tone up a bit, i cant tell you if it works yet though because ive only just started but i imagine they wont look so bad without a big wobble behind them ;0)

 Stretch marks can be a pain. But they fade to little silvery line eventually. Try bio-oil, it makes your skin smoother which may improve there appearance. But I think more women have them than not (and I mean women, not skinny teenagers!) and quite a few men too!
They are normal and I would love to be rid of mine, but hey, thats life (well that how I look at it)
Love willywombat

reader, anonymous, writes (10 February 2006): I understand your situation. I had my daughter 14 years ago and was left with stretch marks all over my stomach, breasts, arms and leg. Every day I despise them, they only fade a little and NO creams do not work, trust me I tried them all. Thing is, there is nothing that I can do about them so I just have to improvise. I made my partner aware of how insecure I am about them when we first men and asked him to allow me a little slack in the bedroom. I now have candles or dim lighting in the bedroom, wear lingerie that covers the worst areas and invented sex games and role play that only require me to remove some of my clothing.When Im drunk, I couldn't care less and the clothes come off, my boyfriend loves it when this happens. My sex life is fabulous and my partner cant get enough of me. Life has to go sister, there is nothing you can do about them so just try and work around them.x

i haven't had any children and I still have stretch marks all over my bum and boobs! I was very skinny and then put a few stone on, i feel sexier now I'm bigger, but I do get paranoid about my stretch marks. I told my bf that I didn't like but he said he loves them, so i have learnt to accept them now! i've heard about this cream you're supposed to put on when your pregnant to reduce the chance of stretch marks, maybe look it up on the internet? hope i helped! charlie x

 My husband calls them "battle scars" and says I should be proud of them. Don't worry they fade over time. Just look at you children whenever you feel the scars are ugly.

 I have had three babies, and my stretch marks cover my stomach, upper thighs, butt, and boobs. They took a lot of time to get used to, I was very depressed about them at first, feeling very ugly and ashamed. But if you reall think about it, you did nothing wrong they are the scars reminding you of the beautiful children you have brought in to this world. Your man will most likely never say anything, even my husband who has listened to me complain about my stretch marks countless times has told me, "The ones I can see aren't even that bad, but most of them I can't even see." I'm telling you, as hard as it is you will learn to live with them, and any man that was to get picky about your skin, doesn't deserve to be looking at it!

 Hi, well I too have stretch marks, they are a curse but one that some women suffer more that others.
Cocoa butter used throughout the pregnancy is believed to be good, you can spend a fortune on remidies that say they work but im not sure, better keep your dosh in your purse, use the butter as it is fairly cheap and get yourself down to the gym when baby has arrived.
Stretch marks are part of us if we get them and very little can be done, I have never had any comments about mine and to be honest if I did then that man would be walking!!
