Haan yaar, mere toh 6th month ke end mein aane shuru ho gaye the. Stomach badhne lagta hai toh skin kheenchtee hai na, isliye thoda coconut oil lagaya karo.
I was just so grateful to carry my baby to the third trimester after my previous loss that I didn't mind when the marks appeared around week 26. Be gentle and kind to your changing body.
I totally understand how hard it is to see your body change, but those lines are beautiful reminders of the miracle inside you! Mine appeared around the 5th month.
Usually, stretch marks appear in the third trimester, around 30 weeks, as the baby grows rapidly. Just keep your skin well-hydrated to reduce the itching.
Mine showed up late, around week 32. Honestly, bio-oil helped with the dryness, but you can't totally stop them once the belly starts expanding rapidly.
With both my pregnancies, stretch marks popped up around the 8th month. No expensive cream can fully prevent them because it's mostly genetics, so don't stress over them.
When I was staying at my mummy's place in my 7th month, she noticed my skin getting dry and itchy. That's exactly when those light pink lines started showing on my belly.
