stretch marks after having twins

My twins were small and I tried to do everything to prevent the stretch marks but with twins all bets are off!!! I feel like my tummy should be compaired to a rental house. Some kids moved in, broke some windows, scratched the floors and then got evicted. You can't see the wonderful stretch marks I have because I have a tan now (it helps!) but it looks like a mountain lion attacked my tummy. I even have have stretch marks on my calves. Hey, we are the mommys of twins, and I know I secretly laugh when the mom of a single complains about how hard her life is. You know you do too!!

You look FABULOUS! Kind of wish I had at least 1 memory mark!
by: Shelly from Twinpossible

I had my twins at 37 weeks and they were 11 lbs of crazy baby in my tiny body. I didn't think I'd stand a chance, and would be covered with stretchmarks, but it didn't happen.

Now looking back, yeah it was lucky and I did all I could to prevent them and any twin skin, but to have one mark on my body from them to say, 'This is what I carry around because of my beautiful daughters.' would be nice in a way if you know what I mean. I can always get a tattoo I guess, lol.

But seriously, you look amazing. I love how you describe your baby battle scars and the babies. Twins truly are miraculous and wonderful and I would have taken the twin skin and everything, and been happy just because they are here with me now, strong, healthy and beautiful.

THAT matters most. God bless.

I hope I look that good....

I'll keep my fingers crossed!
thanks for mentioning when the stretch marks first appeared I've also been using the cream in hopes of preventing marks.
but yes, I think it's inevitable...here's to hoping they come out safe and healthy !! after all this hard work I've been going thru, moving, healthier lifestyle and having to inform a rather unencouraging family. and exboyfriend guys that are still friends in my life with the news my life will change and them not thinking of me as a possible girl they'd want to date anymore is a downer. Overall this has been a plesent suprise but it's also embarrasing. Hope housing works out and the system, I'm older and don't know how it works but better get used to it! their on their way~ identical boys~

Body after babies
by: Kristin

I am 3 months post-partem, and not a day goes by that I don't look at my stretch marks and then smile at our baby girls. I thought I was in the clear when it came to stretch marks but less than a week before our scheduled c-section at 38 weeks, those pesky marks started appearing. I have now lost 62 of the 70 lbs I gained (and have no time to work, I think it's from nursing two babies), and as the pounds come off the stretched out skin on my tummy (my pooch) just gets more noticeable. Oh well, nothing I can do about it right now.
And yes, I secretly chuckle when I hear a mom of singles tell me how hard it is (although I am sure it is hard with just one too, I wouldn't know though)

good home
by: Anonymous

They may have rented your space for a while, but you did provide them with a great home. In the end we can work out and lose weight but the stretch marks remain. OH WELL!! Pregnancy is the first step to realizing the many sacrifices we make for our kids. After all, they don't care what your tummy looks like (not bad by the way.....I have seen road map bellies) and since they are the most important things in your life, some stretch marks seem trivial.
