I'm starting to get worried about stretch marks as my belly grows. I want to prevent them as much as possible. Can anyone recommend a good cream or oil that works best for pregnancy stretch marks?
Honestly, embrace those tiger stripes, they show the beautiful journey of bringing your baby into this world! I used Bio-Oil and it kept my skin hydrated, but don't feel bad if they still appear. You are beautiful.
Don't fall for expensive luxury creams that promise 100% removal, it is mostly genetics. Just buy any good body butter with shea or cocoa butter and apply it twice daily. Hydration is key, rest is all luck.
I am only in my 4th month but my skin is already starting to feel thoda tight. Should I start applying bio oil now or wait for the bump to grow more? What worked best for you guys?
Humare yahan toh sab nariyal tel lagate hain pet pe. Cold pressed coconut oil is very good and completely safe. It keeps the skin soft and doesn't cost much also.
With twins, my belly stretched like a giant balloon, so no cream in the world could save me! I used simple coconut oil just to stop the crazy itching. Save your money and just buy a huge tub of basic moisturizer.
I am planning my first pregnancy soon and keep wondering if we should start applying these oils beforehand. It's a bit embarrassing to ask, but does starting early help in preventing them later?
I just delivered last month and used Sebamed anti-stretch mark cream throughout my pregnancy. It really helped with the itching and my marks are already fading. Apply it right after your bath on damp skin.
I am in my 3rd trimester and my belly is so itchy, I literally look like a zebra! I am using Palmer's cocoa butter but honestly, sometimes I feel my baby is just using my stomach as a canvas anyway.
During this pregnancy, I was so focused on baby's safety that stretch marks were the last thing on my mind. I only used a very gentle, doctor-approved organic lotion. Just ensure whatever you use is completely chemical-free.
My mother-in-law told me to apply homemade ghee, but my doctor suggested a simple moisturizer with vitamin E. I followed my doctor's advice and it really helped reduce the itching. Do check with your gynac once.
When I was staying at my parents place, my mother used to massage my stomach with pure almond oil daily. It was so relaxing and kept stretch marks very light. Family traditional remedies are sometimes the most comforting.
Please check with your gynecologist before buying any medicated stretch mark creams. Some creams contain ingredients that might not be recommended during pregnancy. Regular safe moisturizers are usually best.
