Stretch Marks and a Six Pack?

After having a giant 10 lb baby I have horrendous stretch marks and realize they're not going anywhere, BUT is it possible to get noticeable abs (maybe not a six pack but definition) and have stretch marks? Or will the skin forever be so squishy that no definition is possible?

    I have stretch marks too:/ I think they have faded more with weight loss and getting some sun but I'm really more concerned about the sagging skin. Its like the more weight I lose the saggier my tummy gets. Its discouraging

    My stretch marks are below my belly button and of course, doesn't affect ab definition above the belly button. If the marks are higher, I'd think they'd have some bearing, but not much. Plus building the abs necessary to show through would probably make them look better no matter what.

    Yeah, the sagginess is a concern, I'm hoping it will firm up when the fat layer goes away. I have stretch marks from above my belly button and from hip to hip. Any they're wide, like almost an inch in width on some, not those little spider web stretch marks some people get.
