Im in my 6th month and starting to see those lines coming on my belly and a bit on thighs. I know its normal but want to keep them in control if possible. What did you ladies use that actually helped?
Beta in our time we just used coconut oil and almond oil every night, gently massage karo. It keeps skin soft and a bit less marks. But marks coming is natural, har maa ke aate hain.
Both times I got them, no cream fully stops it, it's genetic mostly. What helps is keeping skin oiled and not gaining weight too fast. After a year mine were barely visible.
I felt so conscious about my stretch marks at first, they came on my tummy in the last months. I started oiling daily and staying hydrated and it helped a little. Honestly they fade with time, don't be hard on yourself.
Yaar stretch marks are basically badges of honour, don't stress too much. I kept my skin moisturised and drank lots of water, that's all. They lighten so much after delivery, trust me.
Honestly you don't need those expensive creams. Plain coconut oil and a cheap moisturiser worked the same for me. Save the money for baby stuff actually.
