Same! Flair Underwood I didn't even realize that was possible.
I also have a small patch right under my belly button. And a ton on each of my love handles. And a couple on each leg at my bikini line. One of which cuts through the line work on my thigh piece.
My inner and outer thighs and love handles are so ripped up and stripey.... I knew they were bad when I was pregnant, but daaaaaamn. Now that I'm not they seem worse.

I have all the stretch marks. Belly, breast, thighs, hips. They're all under clothes and DH doesn't care, and I don't care too much either. What I want is shape.

I have tons of stretch marks but they're all 25 years old... I thought the fact that I had such extensive stretch marks from puberty would mean I'd get them badly in pregnancy, but I didn't get a single new one. Perks of having a totally imperfect body to begin with, I guess. I never had a flat belly either.
My belly button piercing hole is a mess also! I have these little stretch marks that surround the hole and give it the shape of a sun! I don't regret getting it done, but I wish someone would have told 15 year old me that this would happen.
I didn't have a single stretch mark through my entire pregnancy, but to my dismay, I have a single one that appeared above my hip just yesterday. Wtf? Shrink marks? Is that a thing? So disappointing.

Lol perfect description. Mine also looks like there are rays of sun surrounding it.

I have 367535788 stretch marks from growth spurts and puberty and being fat, so I haven't noticed new ones. Lol. But my TMI is after wearing pads for 7 weeks I have diaper rash. Good thing there's butt paste in the house.

I am telling you - it is unfair what we put up with after begin pregnant forever.
I probably spent more money on stretch mark creams than this entire BMB combined (I bought 6 different creams and used them all: Burt's Bees, Palmers Cocoa Butter, Basq, Strivectin, Mustela). While it might have helped prevent some, I still notice a couple of short stretch marks framing my belly button (one on the left and the other on the right). They weren't noticeable while I was pregnant, but now that my stomach is deflating and my skin is slowly lightening I can see them. I have natural dark tones, but my stomach complexion went from being a milk chocolate color before pregnancy, to a dark chocolate color during the pregnancy. Now that my normal complexion is returning I can see the marks:( I am just relieved it isn't worse.
Like frecklesnbrains and woodengirl07, I had a lot of stretch marks from puberty. They cover my thighs and butt. I think the pregnancy also added marks in that area but I can't tell because so many pre-existed.

Reviving this thread to add that these hot flashes can end any day now please. Especially when I have my own little heater attached to me hours per day.
