Kate Claxton wants to normalise stretch marks so her child does not think they are a big deal.
Kate Claxton developed stretch marks towards the end of her pregnancy and hated them at firstA mother who developed stretch marks while pregnant has painted some on her daughter's Barbie "so she can grow up knowing they are normal".
The 35-year-old had already bought her daughter a diverse range of the dolls, including one with a prosthetic leg, one with vitiligo and another with a fuller figure, but could not find any with stretch marks. "Kids who have read the book have asked their mums if they have stripes, and it has given confidence to a lot of women to show their stretch marks to their children and the wider world," she said.Mrs Claxton wrote and self-published a book about a little girl who learns why her mother has 'stripes' on her skin
