    sorry no, stretch marks don't go, they might fade and be less noticeable if they are new and red, but they are a permanent feature sadly. although i am lucky and have very few, and those are from pregnancy, my kids are all adults and the stretch marks are still there x

    Nope, still there... but they look a LOT better than they did before when they were stretched over all that fat.

    Bio oil is supposed to be excellent for fading stretch marks :-)

    Hiya... I would say this is all down to the individual woman .. my mum had 4 children and not a stretch mark on her, I have had 1 child, and my belly looks like I was ripped to shreds by Freddy Kruger ... I used every cream going from expensive to cheap and nothing helped.. it is very sad and I hate looking at my tummy, but all i would say is 'IF" you do get them, then over the years they will fade.. my daughter is 3 now and although they are still there and not pretty they are a damn sight better then they were.. just enjoy your baby, be good with the diet, loads of exercise and what will be will be ... good luck x

    using organic oils and body butter REALLY REALLY helped me. As a massage therapist im always using oils and butters. I would take some of those oils and butters and rub them on my 2 strch marks on my belly and they ARE going away. fading nicely. they are still there, but using Organic stuff is better

    Other than the oils you can always save up for laser surgery :D
