With my first baby I got a lot of marks on my tummy and they never fully went away. Now im expecting again, just 3 months in, and want to start early this time. What actually worked for you na?
Second time I started moisturising early and stayed regular with it, oil at night and cream in morning. Honestly genetics play a big role so dont expect miracles. Keep skin hydrated and drink water, that is the realistic part.
I used til oil and malai at home like my mother told me, applied daily on the belly. Some marks still came but lighter. Just keep the skin soft and dont worry too much about it dear.
I didnt spend on fancy creams, plain coconut oil and a basic moisturiser did the job for me. Consistency matters more than the price. Just apply daily and keep your water intake up.
I oiled regularly both pregnancies and it helped a bit, though some marks stayed and that is okay. After my C-section I was gentle around the area while moisturising. Be kind to your skin and yourself, the marks fade with time.
