Around 5 months now and my belly is starting to show properly. I keep checking my tummy every morning waiting for them to appear lol. When did they actually start for you all and is there a stage where they come most?
With twins my belly stretched way more so mine came earlier, around month 5-6 and lots of them ha. I wore them like a badge honestly. Oils help with itching more than preventing them tbh.
Usually in the last few months ya. My mom told me to apply coconut oil daily, kept skin soft and the itching less. They fade after baby comes, so dont feel bad about them.
Mostly they show up in the later months, 6th-7th onwards when the bump grows fast. Some get them, some dont, it's a lot about genetics honestly. I oiled daily but still got a few, no big deal.
Mine started appearing around the 7th month on my lower belly. They were itchy first. I just kept moisturising and after delivery they faded to light lines slowly. They really do fade with time, dont worry.
Usually second half of pregnancy when the bump pops. Honestly dont stress about preventing them, half of it is your skin type. Keep skin moisturised for comfort and let it be.
