Im in my 5th month and pet is starting to grow now. My mom and saas both say marks will come for sure but i really want to avoid them if possible. What did u all use that actually worked? oils, creams kuch bhi.
Okay, so hydration is key, both internally and externally. Drink plenty of water. For topical application, I swear by bio-oil or a good quality shea butter. Apply it religiously twice a day, especially after shower. It won't completely eliminate them if you're prone, but it definitely helps minimize them.
Dekho, pura avoid toh shayad mushkil hai, genetics ka bhi role hota hai. Lekin main jab pregnant thi, toh badam ka tel aur nariyal tel mix karke roz lagati thi pet pe. Malish karne se skin thodi supple rehti hai. Aur khoob pani piyo, woh bhi zaruri hai.
Honestly, a lot of it is genetic. But what you can do is keep your skin moisturized consistently. I used a thick body butter right after my morning shower and before bed. Consistency is more important than the brand. And hydration is super important too.
I just delivered a few months ago, and honestly, it's a mix of genes and effort. I used Palmer's cocoa butter stretch mark cream every single night from my second trimester. I also drank a lot of water. I do have a few faint lines, but it helped keep my skin elastic, I think.
Avoid stretch marks? Haha, with twins, mera pet toh football ban gaya tha! Honestly, genetics plays a huge role. But you can try. I used a lot of cocoa butter and kept my skin super hydrated. Still got some, but maybe not as bad as they could've been? Who knows!
Beta, it's natural for the body to change during such a beautiful journey. Just keep yourself well hydrated, nourish your skin with natural oils like almond oil. More than anything, embrace the changes and be positive. These marks are symbols of the life you've nurtured.
Oh, I worried about this so much! I felt so conscious about my changing body. I religiously applied whatever lotions my mom and MIL suggested, but still, some tiny ones appeared. I felt a bit sad initially, but then I realized they're like a badge of honor for bringing my baby into the world.
