I'm worried about getting stretch marks during my pregnancy. When is the best time to start using creams for stretch marks? Should I start early in pregnancy or wait until my belly grows bigger?
Start applying it the moment you feel like scratching your belly like a bear! Honestly, around 3 months is a good time to start moisturizing. Though let's be real, genetics play a big role so don't stress if a few tiger stripes show up!
Haan na, stretch marks ki khujli is so annoying! I started using a moisturizing cream around my 4th month. Mere doc ne bola tha skin moist rakhna zaroori hai, so regularly lagaya karo ho na.
Honestly, I can't say what's medically best, but I started applying bio-oil and a heavy moisturizer from my second trimester. It really helped with the itching, though some marks still appeared.
Start using a dedicated stretch mark cream or cocoa butter from the 12th week itself, before the belly actually starts stretching. Once the skin tears, creams won't do much. Be consistent twice a day.
Keep your mind peaceful and don't worry too much about physical changes, they are a beautiful part of motherhood. Start applying any mild organic cream or coconut oil from the second trimester to keep the skin hydrated. Take care of yourself dear.
Beta, skin dry hone se khujli hoti hai aur marks aate hain. 3rd or 4th month se hi pet pe halka sa nariyal tel (coconut oil) lagana shuru kar do nahane ke baad. Bahut relief milega aur chemical creams ki zaroorat nahi padegi.
