I'm in my second trimester and worried about getting stretch marks. I keep checking for them every day. Around which month or stage of pregnancy do stretch marks typically start to appear?
Double trouble means double the stretch! My belly became a map of India by the 5th month itself because of carrying twins. You can't escape them completely, but keeping skin hydrated definitely stops the itching.
For me, stretch marks actually started showing up around the late second trimester, like 24-25 weeks, yaar. My belly started growing suddenly after that. Just keep applying coconut oil or a good moisturizer from now only.
Mine appeared in the 7th month because of sudden weight changes. By the way, make sure you are getting your thyroid levels checked regularly too as skin dryness also increases if levels are off. Keep asking your doctor during regular checkups.
Hey! Generally they start appearing around the 6th or 7th month when the bump really pops. 🤰 But don't stress, they are just beautiful tiger stripes of your journey! Keep moisturizing daily. ✨
Haan na, everyone’s body is so different. For me, they started showing in the 8th month only when baby grew fast. Apply some plain virgin coconut oil after bath, it really helps with the dry itchy skin.
