Im in my 4th month and pet is just starting to show a little. Should i start applying the cream now or wait till later when it grows more? Dont want marks if i can avoid, pls share when u all started.
Usually, doctors suggest starting around the 12th to 14th week, before the belly starts expanding. I asked my dermatologist, and she recommended a fragrance-free moisturizer. Do ask your gynac once about which brand is safe for your skin type.
Start it early, around the end of your 1st trimester! Apply it on your belly, hips, and thighs. It keeps the itching away and feels so soothing. Happy pampering!
Oh, I panicked so much when I saw light pink marks in my 5th month! Gynac smiled and told me it's totally normal. Start applying normal coconut oil or any stretch cream right now, it will soothe the stretching skin.
I am still trying to conceive, but my elder sister told me that we should start using moisturizing creams as soon as we see the positive test. She said keeping the skin soft early on helps a lot later. I hope I get to use them soon too.
Honestly, those expensive stretch mark creams are not even needed sometimes. I just used simple bio-oil or normal olive oil from the second trimester. Just keep the skin hydrated and it works perfectly.
