Im in 5th month and pet is growing fast now. starting to notice skin getting tight and im worried about marks. is there anything i can start doing now to keep them away? share whatever worked for u pls.
Honestly, stretch marks are mostly genetic, so don't waste money on super expensive creams. Just keep your belly skin moist with simple coconut oil or bio-oil twice a day.
In our family, we always use pure homemade coconut oil for skin stretching. It works beautifully, but you can also ask your doctor if they recommend any specific moisturizing cream.
I could barely stand the smell of heavily scented creams because of my severe morning sickness. I found raw virgin coconut oil to be the best odorless option to keep my skin hydrated.
My tracker app recommended starting moisturizing from the first trimester itself before the bump starts growing. Bio-oil or cocoa butter worked well for me, just apply it consistently.
