It looks like I got attacked by a shark! They are long and vertical. I have short semi-vertical/sideways ones on my sides, but they are little and aren't that not that obvious. My boobs got them too, and they are just all over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-describe-your-stretch-marks#post-20793 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 23:29:50 +0000 tequiero21 20793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>still waiting to see if i'll get stretchmarks. so far, so good - knock on wood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-describe-your-stretch-marks#post-19173 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 08:32:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 19173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so proud that I didn't have any at week 36 but then I gained 10 lbs in 5 weeks and bam, hello stretchmarks. </p> <p>At the early stage of my pregancy, my boobs grew 1 cup size so I had stretchmarks under my boobs. Short, jagged. Nothing visible (so I was okay with that)</p> <p>Then on my stomach... All under my belly button and across to my sides. They were vertical, long and pretty jagged. I hate my stomach now. (even though you can't really see them, it just makes my stomach frumpy) But would never do lipo... so I guess after baby 2 i need to start toning that tummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-describe-your-stretch-marks#post-19130 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 02:57:37 +0000 looch 19130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get them until about 38 weeks, but they were red and spidery looking. They've mostly faded now, 11 months after birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-describe-your-stretch-marks#post-19121 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 02:36:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 19121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were very different then the ones I got during puberty and/or weight gain. I got some horizontal red ones on my sides(love handles) but a few darker ones on my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-describe-your-stretch-marks#post-19090 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:56:02 +0000 cyndistar3 19090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are vertical short and pretty jagged. They kind of curve around my bellybutton I also have some on my hips but they are very very light so you can't really see them unless you are looking for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-describe-your-stretch-marks#post-19089 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:31:02 +0000 Mrs. D 19089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How would you describe your stretch marks?<br /> Are they vertical, horizontal, curved, jagged, mixed, long, short, high, low, sides, etc?</p> <p>At six months right now mine are mostly vertical, short and across my natural waist near my belly button. I know they'll change.</p> <p>they're different than the ones I got during puberty, which were long and along my hips mostly. </p>
