Oh this is one thing I'm also really curious about! I've heard some people say it's all genetic, but then others swear by certain oils. What exactly worked for u guys? Planning to start my journey soon, so collecting all tips!

Prevent stretch marks? LOL, I barely prevented myself from falling asleep standing up most days. I tried some expensive creams but honestly, my baby just decided to stretch me to my limits. Maybe just embrace them as battle scars? Kidding... mostly.

Yeah, it's a common worry! Hydration and good moisturising lotions really helped me, worth a try.

Honestly, I think staying hydrated and keeping skin supple helps. My gynac actually recommended a lot of water and gentle moisturisers. She also said maintaining a healthy weight gain pace, with doctor-approved light walks, might make a difference, less sudden stretching for skin.

Haan haan, ye toh sabse bada tension hota hai! Mere ghar pe toh bolte the, badam ka tel lagao roj. Aur na, khoob pani piyo. But honestly, kuch toh genetic bhi hota hai na? Poora control toh nahi hota.
