Third trimester now and the marks on my pet are getting itchy and red. Thoda uncomfortable lagta hai sometimes. What did u apply that actually gave relief?
No need to buy those super expensive anti-stretch mark creams that claim to work miracles. Just use simple, warm mustard oil or Nivea blue tin cream twice a day to keep the skin moist. It is very cheap, completely safe, and works perfectly to control the itching and dryness.
I know how upsetting it can feel to see your body changing so fast, and the itching from stretch marks can actually make you feel so anxious. Please know your feelings are totally valid, but don't worry too much. Regularly applying gentle bio-oil or virgin coconut oil right after a bath can really help soothe the skin.
I totally understand how hard it is to accept these sudden changes on our bodies, but please remember these are beautiful tiger stripes of your motherhood. To ease the tightness, gently rub warm sweet almond oil on your belly and whisper sweet things to your baby, it is such a lovely bonding time.
I am planning my pregnancy soon and I'm honestly so terrified of getting deep stretch marks on my stomach! Does using heavy creams from the very first month actually prevent them, or is it mostly just genetics? Would love to know what worked for everyone.
I just had my baby last month and my belly was super itchy during the third trimester. I massaged pure shea butter and cold-pressed coconut oil twice a day, and it worked wonders to soothe the dryness and itching. The marks are still there, but they have faded a lot and don't itch at all now.
