Delivered 3 months back and the marks on my tummy are still quite dark. Do these actually fade with time or stay forever? feeling thoda low looking at them honestly, want to hear from mommas who went through this.
I totally get you, I was so worried about them too, felt like my body was completely changed. They don't disappear completely but they definitely become much, much lighter and less noticeable. For me, it took a good 6-12 months for them to really settle into that silvery color.
Fade? Lol, mine are still like a roadmap of where my two babies grew! But honestly, yes, they do become silvery and less obvious. For me, with twins, it took a bit longer, maybe a year for them to lighten up properly. Embrace them, they're battle scars!
Oh, those tiger stripes! 🐅 They actually do fade a lot over time, becoming silvery white instead of purplish red. It can take months, sometimes even a year or more. Just keep your skin moisturized! ✨
Stretch marks are a natural part of pregnancy for many women. While they don't fully disappear, they do tend to fade significantly over several months post-delivery, becoming lighter in color and less noticeable. Consistent hydration and skin care can help, but consulting a dermatologist for specific treatments is also an option if you're concerned.
My pregnancy app had a whole section on this! It said stretch marks gradually fade over 6-12 months postpartum, turning from red/purple to a silvery-white color. They won't completely vanish but become way less prominent. Consistent moisturizing helps.
