Just entered 2nd trimester and my MIL keeps telling me to oil my tummy daily. I dont have any marks yet but want to prevent before they come. What actually worked for u all?
After my C-section, I realized our bodies go through so much to bring a baby. I had marks all over my lower belly, but applying simple aloe vera gel helped soothe the itching. They do fade away slowly with time, trust me.
My dermatologist at the hospital suggested using a basic moisturizer right from the first trimester itself. She said it is mostly genetic but keeping skin hydrated helps a lot. Definitely ask your doctor at your next visit what they recommend for your skin type.
I had to be so careful with my diet because of GD, but keeping hydrated from inside also helped my skin. I just applied simple coconut oil twice a day. Don't worry about expensive creams, just focus on healthy eating and keeping skin moist.
In my experience, no expensive cream completely stopped them. I just used extra virgin olive oil daily after shower because it felt nice and kept my skin soft. Everyone's skin is different, so just do what feels comfortable.
Two babies meant my belly stretched like a balloon, so marks were inevitable! I used every cream in the market but honestly, they still showed up like tiger stripes. Be proud of them, they are your battle scars!
Listen, don't stress so much about these marks, they are absolutely natural and show how beautifully your body is growing. Just keep your belly moisturized with raw cocoa butter or coconut oil so it doesn't itch. Take care of yourself first, ok?
Haan, stretch marks to standard pregnancy part hain! Maine to bas ghar ka pure bio oil aur badam tel mix karke lagaya tha nahaane ke baad. Zyada stress mat lo, completely avoid karna difficult hota hai na.
