A.

As some postpartum time passes, the redness of your stretch marks fades and they become nearly imperceptible, just silvery lines. If you had only one stretch mark, you may not even be able to notice it after a few months postpartum. Sometimes stretch marks are deep and you can feel them, for other women they are nearly nonexistent.
