Im in my 5th month and pet is showing nicely now. No marks yet but i keep checking daily haha. When did they actually start for you all, and is there time to prevent them?
According to my tracker app, stretch marks are most common in the third trimester, especially after week 30 when the bump expands rapidly. I started applying shea butter daily from week 16 itself to keep the skin supple, which helped quite a bit with the stretching.
Stretch marks usually start showing up around the late second or third trimester as the baby bump grows quickly. Please don't worry too much about these physical changes; after going through a loss, I realized these marks are just beautiful reminders that our baby is growing safely inside us.
I know how stressful it is to watch your body change so rapidly and worry about permanent marks. It can make you feel so anxious and out of control, but it's a completely normal part of the process. They usually appear after the 5th or 6th month when the skin stretches fast.
I totally understand how hard it can be to accept these changes on our bodies, sweetie. Most moms start noticing them in the third trimester as the sweet little baby grows bigger. Wear them with pride, they are proof of the miracle you are carrying.
Actually, my doctor told me that stretch marks depend mostly on genetics and skin elasticity rather than creams. They typically start appearing around the 24th to 28th week, but keeping the skin well-hydrated with simple coconut oil can help with the itching.
Haan na, 7th month ke baad stomach pe itching shuru hoti hai aur marks dikhne lagte hain. Mere case mein toh delivery ke thode din pehle hi aaye. Bas scratching mat karna, bio oil ya normal coconut oil lagao daily.
