Can stretch marks be treated during pregnancy or after?

Question

The marks have started showing on my pet and honestly im a bit conscious about them. Not sure if anything i do now will help or if its only after delivery. Has anything actually worked for you girls?

Before applying any chemical-based stretch mark creams during pregnancy, please check with your gynac first to ensure the ingredients are safe for the baby.

Haha, my stretch marks grew just like my appetite! Keeping hydrated by drinking lots of water and applying cocoa butter kept the itching away.

You can apply warm coconut oil or aloe vera gel daily to keep the skin hydrated. But for any severe itching or rashes, please consult your doctor immediately.

I used simple olive oil throughout my pregnancy, and it really helped fade them over time. I can only share what worked for me, so do what suits your skin.

Don't waste thousands on expensive luxury anti-stretch creams. Plain coconut oil is super cheap, highly effective, and leaves room in your budget for baby shopping.

Honestly, don't stress too much about those lines, they are like tiger stripes! Just keep your skin moisturized with some good bio-oil or shea butter.

With twins, my belly was huge and stretch marks were inevitable! Just laugh it off, moisturize daily, and accept them as a badge of honor.
