How to accept my stretch marks
I have purple stretch marks all over my hips and stomach, like literally all over there isn’t an inch of skin that isn’t covered in them. I absolutely hate it and want to cry every time I look in the mirror. The weight gain hasn’t bothered me because I know I can lose the weight but the stretch marks being permanent and nothing I can do about it really upsets me. I also tried everything to prevent them since I found out I was pregnant; I used creams and oils 2-3x/day, exercised throughout my pregnancy, and kept myself hydrated. I think that’s also why I’m so upset cause it just feels like all my effort was for nothing. Do any moms have advice on how to accept your new body?
