When should you start using stretch mark cream in pregnancy?
Im just into my second trimester and my belly is starting to show now. Want to start with some cream before the marks even appear if thats how it works. When did u all begin applying, is it too early now?
Start whenever your bump pops, usually second trimester is good. And dont stress if some marks still show up, they fade and honestly they're proof of something amazing. Just keep that skin moisturised, oil works too.
I started early, around 3-4 months, and kept at it daily. Got a few marks anyway tbh, a lot is genetic, but the cream helped with dryness and itching big time. Consistency matters more than which brand.
I started in my 4th month and made it a little nightly ritual, I felt it relaxed me too. It got rid of that tight itchy feeling. Cant promise it fully prevents marks but it kept my skin soft and comfy.
You dont need a pricey cream yaar, I just used coconut oil and a normal moisturiser from around 4th month and it worked fine. Start when skin starts stretching, keep it regular. Save your money for actual baby stuff.
I started around the second trimester, when the bump began showing and skin started stretching. Twice a day on belly, hips and thighs. Honestly genes play a big role too, but keeping skin moisturised early definitely helps with the itching at least.
