Im 4 months and pet is just starting to show. No marks yet but my friends scared me saying they will come suddenly. Around which month do they usually start? curious na, want to start oil before that.
With twins, my belly expanded like a giant watermelon by month 5, so stretch marks were inevitable! No amount of bio oil could save me from that double growth spurt. Just embrace them, they represent your superpower!
Mine appeared around the 7th month, mostly around my lower abdomen. Post my C-section, I realized those marks are the least of my worries compared to healing the scar. Just keep the skin soft and give your body time to heal.
We are just planning to start a family, and I sometimes wonder about all these body changes. It is a bit scary to think about stretch marks but I guess it is all part of becoming a mother. Hopefully, good hydration helps!
Currently in my 28th week and I just noticed light pink lines yesterday on my hips. I was hoping I would skip them but guess they are finally here. Is anyone else using aloe vera gel for the itching?
I bought like three different expensive creams in my first trimester because I was so paranoid about marks. They finally showed up in the last month anyway, especially near the belly button. Don't worry, they fade with time, just don't scratch them!
Honestly, instead of buying those super expensive pregnancy oils that cost 1000 rupees, just use basic extra virgin coconut oil from the local shop. It works the same! Save that money for your delivery hospital deposit and baby gear later.
I am in my 5th month now and keeping my fingers crossed but no marks yet. Honestly I am so anxious that they will suddenly appear overnight, did anyone else get them only in 3rd trimester?
My skin got extremely dry because of my fluctuating thyroid levels, and the marks started showing up early around week 16. During my routine checkups, the doctor suggested a good moisturizer. Do check with your doc if your skin is itching too much.
My Amma told me to apply warm virgin coconut oil daily from the first trimester itself. But my doctor said stretch marks are mostly genetic and depend on how fast the skin stretches. I did both—followed Amma's oil tip but trusted my gynac's cream too.
Hey, don't stress too much about them, they are just beautiful tiger stripes! I started getting minor lines around the 6th month on my lower belly. Just keep applying coconut oil or cocoa butter to keep skin hydrated.
