Aloha E., I have a 3 month old and got a lot of stretch marks. I don't have any advice for getting rid of them. Only suggestions on seeing them in a more positive light as I've come to accept mine. I spent tons of money on creams too, but I am asian and it's definitely genetic in my family. So there's probably nothing I could have done to prevent it, but I tried anyway. I did "mourn" the loss of my pre-baby stomach for about a month, but now I am proud of my mommy body. At least they are not on our face! I didn't go around showing my belly before anyways, no one else will see these except my husband and son. My husband loves my body because it is me and I know my son will too. I try to eat right and exercise and that makes me feel good about how I look. It really is about inner beauty. Also, there's probably nothing short of plastic surgery that will get rid of them. Please realize that no one else really cares about your stretch marks so you shouldn't waste your energy feeling bad about them. I really feel, for those of us who get them, it's out of our control.
