Im 4 months and still no marks but pet is growing fast now. Want to start oil malish before they come if possible. Around which month did stretch marks start for you all?
For me, they started showing in the 7th month when my tummy grew big. My mother told me to apply warm mustard oil or coconut oil daily after bath. It really helped to reduce the itching.
They usually start appearing around the 6th or 7th month as the baby grows. Make sure you keep up with your regular doctor visits and ask your gynac for a safe cream if the itching gets too bad.
I freaked out when I saw the first red lines on my belly in the second trimester! But honestly, they are so normal and fade to light silver lines over time. Just use a good moisturizer or coconut oil to keep the skin hydrated.
Mine appeared around month 6, and now they look like a map of India on my stomach! Honestly, I am too tired to care about them now with a crying baby. They are just proof that you grew a whole human, so wear them proudly!
My stretch marks started showing up in the 3rd trimester, probably because of all the extra street food I was eating! It's okay, our bodies are stretching to make room for the baby and all those cravings.
