When to start stretch mark cream during pregnancy?
Im just into my second trimester and belly is slowly starting to show. My MIL says start applying oil/cream early, my friend says wait. Now im confused when is the right time to actually begin?
I started moisturising the belly and hips from around the second trimester when the skin began stretching, twice a day. Consistency matters more than the brand honestly. It wont magically prevent them all, genes play a part, but it keeps skin comfy and less itchy.
You dont need pricey creams yaar, plain coconut oil or a basic moisturiser worked just as well for me. I started early second trimester. Save the money, the expensive ones arent magic, the regular oiling is the real trick.
I am in my second trimester and just started applying oil daily, hoping to avoid marks. A bit anxious because my mom got them badly. Did starting early actually help you all or is it mostly genes?
