Starting to see my belly grow now in 5th month and im already worried about marks. My mom got a lot during her pregnancies. Is there anything that actually works to prevent them? Pls share what u used.
Oh sweetie, I know this feeling so well. After delivery, I looked at my tummy and just felt so many emotions. Honestly, you can try all the oils and creams, but some of it is genetics and how your skin reacts. Just remember, these marks are like a badge of honour, showing what an amazing thing your body did. Be kind to yourself through this beautiful journey.
It's totally normal to feel anxious about changes like stretch marks during pregnancy, I remember I used to worry about everything! What helped me was just consistently keeping my skin hydrated with a good cream. Talk to your gynac if you're really concerned, but mostly try to enjoy this special time, don't let small things stress you out too much.
For something like stretch marks, it's always best to ask your gynaecologist directly during your regular check-ups. My doctor at the hospital actually recommended specific creams that are scientifically proven and safe for pregnancy. They can guide you much better on what really works and what is safe for you.
Honestly, stretch marks are so common na. After my C-section, I realised my body went through so much already. Just focus on keeping your skin moisturized, I used a lot of shea butter or even simple coconut oil daily. Ultimately, it's about embracing the amazing changes your body makes.
Hehe, this is a question almost every pregnant lady asks! I just kept my skin super moisturized, morning and night, with a good cream or natural oil like almond oil. Some say it's genetics, but hydration definitely helps keep the skin supple and happy. You're beautiful no matter what!
