Im 16 weeks and pet is just starting to show a little. My MIL keeps telling me to apply oil already. Just curious when do these marks actually start, kuch ladies say early kuch say later na.
I totally understand how you feel seeing these changes in your beautiful body. Mine started appearing around the 6th month on my tummy and hips. They are just tiny love marks from your sweet baby, so embrace them with all your heart!
Haha, mine arrived around week 24 like uninvited guests at an Indian wedding! No matter how much expensive cream I rubbed, they still showed up. Just wear them like a tiger wears her stripes, we earned them!
Usually, they start showing when the baby bump starts growing rapidly, around the 5th or 6th month. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about them, okay? Just apply a good moisturizer after your bath to help with the itching.
For me, because of my PCOS struggles, I was just so happy to be pregnant that stretch marks didn't bother me initially, but they started showing around the late second trimester. Don't worry, just keep your skin moisturized with some basic coconut oil. Every body reacts differently so don't compare.
Honestly, I was so busy throwing up till week 20 that I didn't even notice when my stretch marks started! They became prominent in the third trimester for me. Just use a simple body butter, it really helps with the dry stretching skin.
