My mother-in-law keeps telling me to put oil on my stomach every day to prevent stretch marks. Is it actually safe to put oil on my stomach during pregnancy, or does it really help?
Look, there is no harm in applying oil on your stomach, it is very good for dry skin. Just don't massage it too hard, apply with soft hands and you are good to go.
I always suggest this to everyone on this group—start applying coconut oil or almond oil right from the second trimester. It keeps the skin moisturized and really helps with the stretching feel, just do it after your bath.
Ghar pe nani dadi bolti hain na ki tel lagana accha hota hai. Hamare yahan toh peeli sarso ka tel ya nariyal tel halka gunguna karke lagate hain, isse pet ko bahut aaram milta hai.
Yes dear, you can definitely apply it, it keeps the body relaxed. Keep your mind peaceful, chant a little daily, and take good care of yourself and the little one.
Yes, absolutely! I just delivered 3 months back and used to apply bio-oil and simple coconut oil on my tummy every single day. It really helped with the crazy itching as my bump grew.
I am in my 5th month right now and started putting olive oil last week because my skin was feeling so dry! By the way, does oiling actually prevent stretch marks, or is it just for the itching?
