Im 21 years old and i had a baby 2 months ago. I got ugly stretch marks from my pregnancy and i got fat( i use to be 140lbs and now im about 180lbs). I use to be hot like i way tanned, i had fake nails, i was taking care of myself a lot and now nobody even to at me. I feel disgusting. I feel happy with my son but i think my body is so ugly now. Is anybody has tricks to make those stretch marks disapear??? Is it normal that i feel this way???

    You only had a baby TWO months ago. It took me a year to loose all the baby weight. Work hard, eat right and you'll be fine. The strechmark thing; they have creams. Start using them. They'll disappear soon:)

    You know. Life isn't all about the way you look. You should be happy that you have a son, who cares what you look like.

    Why does it bother you that everyones not staring at you and putting you in the center of attention?

    You should of known this was going to happen having a baby, use some cocobutter cream(pharmaceutical section) on your stretch marks, they say that works, but unfortunately they don't go away, they stay their for life.

    The only thing you can do is use some cocobutter to fade 'em a bit. but sometimes that doesn't even work.

    Just heads up, you should love yourself for who you are on the inside, then who you are on the outside. You're not going to be beautiful forever, one day all you'll have going for you is your personality.

    People aren't going to like you just the same as if you were beautiful.

    Beauty doesn't make people like you, if anything it makes them hate you more.

    Don't worry about impressing the superficial.

    Because the genuine will like you for who you are on the inside. You don't have to impress them.

    I just had a baby in October. My son was born sleeping though ): I feel terrible still so I guess it's normal. I feel really depressed alot of the time because I miss him and who he would've been.

    yes it changes you body to be a mom instead of a one night stand, you will never get to your pre-pregnacy weight or look back. you won't need to shave or wear makeup any more either , its not needed. my girlfriend got pregnant a few years ago gained 150 lbs and weighed 300 lbs. got stretchmarks, never went away and emotional, stopped wearing makeup and perfume and shaving, since then we both have gained around 70 lbs. the sex feels o much better since has gotten fatter and been converted to childbearing from being a piece of ass!

    Get a luffa brush and use it in the shower, when you get out rub coco butter all over your stretch marks. I tried this and now I no longer have stretch marks.
