When should i start applying stretch mark cream during pregnancy?
abhi 4th month hai aur pet thoda dikhne laga hai. friend boli pehle se cream lagana shuru kar do warna baad mein marks aa jate hai. par kuch log kehte hai itni jaldi zarurat nahi. kab se shuru karu?
Dekho, creams bahut expensive aate hain, aur koi guarantee nahi ki marks nahi aayenge. Maine toh jab thoda pet dikhna shuru hua, around 4-5 months, tab normal coconut oil ya almond oil lagana shuru kiya. It moisturises well, is natural, and saves money for other baby expenses like hospital bills or tests, jo ki zyada important hain.
Start early, like second trimester se hi. Jab tummy thoda round hona shuru ho, tabhi se apply karna shuru kar do. Twice a day lagao, after bath and before sleeping. Aur water intake bhi achha rakho. Genetic factor bhi hota hai but cream se dryness aur itching kam hoti hai.
Stretch mark cream? Hahaha, I barely remembered to eat or sleep, forget applying cream on time! Started around my 5th month maybe, when I remembered. Honestly, once you have a baby, you won't even notice your stretch marks much, you'll be too busy admiring your little one. Sleep is more important! 😴
My doctor advised me to start applying a good quality moisturising cream or oil from the end of the first trimester, around 12-14 weeks, as the skin starts stretching quite early and prevention is better. She emphasized that while genetics play a big role, keeping the skin well-hydrated and elastic can definitely help reduce the severity of stretch marks.
I started using it around my second trimester, when my belly really began to show and feel itchy. Consistency is key, try to apply it daily after your shower and before bed. Honestly, some stretch marks are genetic, but it definitely helps with dryness and keeps the skin supple, which is nice.
