Im in my third tri and the marks on my tummy have really increased now. Honestly feeling a bit low looking at them. Do they actually fade after delivery or stay forever? Mommies pls tell me ur honest experience.
From what I read the dark fresh marks fade to pale ones but the texture can stay a little. Some people try dermat creams. If it bothers you a lot, a skin doctor can suggest proper options.
Consider them your tiger stripes yaar. Mine faded but didnt disappear, and honestly I earned them. Coconut oil massage helped a bit but mostly time did the work.
They lighten a lot with time but completely vanish, no. After 2 kids mine are way faded now. Keep skin moisturised, oil it, but dont expect a miracle. They settle down on their own slowly.
Dont worry too much dear. My marks became very light after one year. I just used normal oil at home daily. They never go fully but no one really notices them after some time.
I felt so conscious about mine after delivery. They didnt fully go but the red ones faded to light silvery lines over months. Honestly now I dont even mind them, they remind me of my baby.
