I've always worn a one peice, but my thighs have stretchies on them. I wore a swimsuit last year and didn't care what other's thought  

Try a tankini thats what I got for this year. Its just a regular bikini botton but the top covers your belly too in the front and ties in the back! Very cute might I add and thats why I got one of them for when I go to the beach this summer I know Ill be getting stretchmarks   The only thing that has grown on me is my boobs and I got them already on there. Does the cocoa butter really help? It doesnt seem to be working for me at least.

And dont be ashamed of your stretch marks, be proud.  

Oh and if your worried about them on your legs get a little flowy skirt that covers them!

Quoting yoly:“ i just got a question does tanning help fade them alittle ??????? if it does iam starting asap”

the sun really helped to fade mine

well I have already since we take Nia swimming ... but never a bikini like I used to right now. I wear a one piece and I think I am going to get tankini and shorts instead because I hate my legs right now... I will one day wear a bikini again once I get to my goal weight, I don't care too much about the stretchmarks anymore cause they faded as long as my tummy isn't too flabby in the future. If I can get to my goal weight I will wear one proud because hell, I birthed a freaking human being and if I can look/feel that good again those stretch marks will be the only tell tale sign of pregnancy to be seen, which I am proud of that anyways! Plus I figure it's unfair to my daugther and future kids to be too self conscious to ever go swimming with them. I also don't want my daugther to see me as self concsious and start to be that way as well (children pick up on that stuff very easily). I plan to suck up my self image worries and be as confident as I can be for her so she can learn that it doesn't matter how she looks it's how she feels and that she shoudl feel beautiful because she is beautiful no matter what!

Very well said!


I was lucky enough to get get away with only a couple of the white stretchies, So I'd still wear a bikini.

Quoting yoly:“ ok i was one of the unlucky ones to get stretchmarks so i want to no would ya still wear a swimsuit o is it bad cuz i want to wear one but i am not that confident”

I got stretch marks, but not that much - who the hell cares if you have stretch marks? OMG...seriously!!!! I'm almost 8 months pregnant nowand ISTILL went to an indoor water park wearing a bikini...everyone's insecure about their body one way or another...but....after I had my daughter I was in shape in less than8 months...here's a pic we took at the pool8 months PP...
I don't really care if people see my stretch marks - I still look good no matter what anyone says!!!!

Here's a pic of Grayce and I; 7months PP

Work it! Make it work for you! Who cares what everyone else thinks...you have an adorable face...that'd steal the attention away from your body!
I have stretch marks on my thighs, boobs, my hips and my stomach...I don't give a rats ass what others think...they don't have to look.
And honey, everyone has cellulite!!! We can't all be blessed and have thousands of dollars to spend on cosmetic surgery and miracle creams...You're beautiful!!!

I have already worn a bakini and its not as bad as I thought...the worst part was just my thighs the the stretchmarks there...I got them there the worst..like right imbetween my legs too not attractive lol.

I voted yes! I did not get any stretchmarks on my belly from being pregnant. However, the stretchmarks i had on my hips and thighs pre-pregnancy got 3x worse than they were before, but I'm still going to flaunt my fat butt in the summer.  

i don't care if people see stretch marks or not i've always been big and i've always had them so i'm use to them. I normally wear my black one piece i got like 2 years ago. If i do get pregnant before summer then i'll have a baby bump.
