Im in my 7th month and stretch marks are coming on my pet and sides. Some friends got none and im getting so many. Just curious why it happens to some women more than others?
Frankly, you won't have time to do a 10-step skincare routine once the baby is here. Stretch marks happen because of rapid skin stretching and genetics. Just apply a simple moisturizer right after your morning shower, it takes 2 minutes and keeps the itch away.
It’s mostly due to genetic factors and how quickly your bump is growing. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Applying simple shea butter or coconut oil daily helps reduce the itching and dryness.
Sudden weight gain can make stretch marks worse, so keeping a steady weight through a healthy diet is key. I had to manage my gestational diabetes, which kept my weight gain in check, and luckily got very few marks. Focus on healthy eating!
Honestly, with a crying newborn, who has the time to look at stretch marks in the mirror? They happen because your belly literally inflates like a balloon. Just accept them, put some oil, and try to get some sleep whenever you can!
According to my pregnancy app trackers, your skin expands quickly as your baby grows, causing the collagen underneath to rupture slightly. It's totally natural and genetic too. Keep the skin hydrated with a good moisturizer from week 12 onwards.
I am in my second trimester and starting to see light marks on my belly. Do they actually fade after delivery, or are they permanent? What moisturizer are you girls using right now?
Think of them as your baby’s first drawings on your belly! 🎨 It's just your body's way of making room for the little tenant who is kicking inside. Slather on some bio-oil and wear those tiger stripes proudly!
My baby bump is growing so fast because of all the pani puri cravings, so stretch marks were bound to happen! The skin just stretches to accommodate the growing baby (and all the food!). I just massage some oil and enjoy my meals.
Your body does a wonderful job of stretching to bring a life into the world, so don't worry about these marks. Keeping your skin moisturized helps with the itching. Wear them like a badge of honor, they fade over time anyway!
Dekho, your body is expanding rapidly, so the skin fibers are going to stretch and leave marks. It's purely genetic, so don't waste thousands on expensive creams. Just apply normal coconut oil or mustard oil to stop the itching.
I think stretch marks are a beautiful sign of a mother's body adapting for her child. I really hope I get to experience this phase and see these marks on myself one day. It's a small price to pay for such a blessing.
Stretch marks happen when the skin stretches rapidly, but always ask your gynac before applying any medicated creams. Some anti-stretch mark creams contain ingredients that might not be safe. Better to stick to simple virgin coconut oil unless prescribed.
