What about stretch marks?

For a few days now, strange marks have been appearing on your belly and you think you'll soon be joining a dazzle of zebras?

Between hormonal changes and rapid weight gain, your skin is being put to the test and tends to crack, resulting in the appearance of these small pink streaks of varying lengths.

How can you fight it?

By intensely moisturizing your skin. It is indeed imperative to nourish it in depth to give it elasticity and resistance. So, every morning after showering, and every evening at bedtime, apply a thick layer of cream on the areas most subject to stretch marks, i.e. the stomach, hips, and breasts.

Me too lol but I’ve learned to embrace them 🩷 and keep thinking they probably could be worse if I didn’t use the lotions and oils so I still use them.

I’m 24 weeks along. I’ve always struggled with stretch marks my whole life. Being average weight or overweight, my skin just always had marks. But now that I’m pregnant, I’m getting pretty bad stretch marks on my stomach. Which I know is normal. But does anyone have advice or maybe recommendations on stretch mark creams/remedies?

You can try staying moisturized but a dermatologists will tell you its really nothing you can prevent but you are growing one of your greatest blessings. We all sometimes get focused on the changes of our bodies but we are made to do great things and being able to have our children is top ❤️

Yes. I've got stretch marks on my stomach, inner thighs, and hips. I was consistent with the lotions, but they suddenly began appearing at about 30 weeks. At this point I've just embraced them. They're the tiger stripes of motherhood. 🐯💪

yes I'm ok with it because it's all for my little angel but shocked they just came out of no where! The doctor said stretch marks are hereditary so no matter how much I lotioned and oiled I was destined to have this lol

As you can see pregnancy really left it’s mark on my body , I am now covered in stretch marks all over my stomach , sides, back , arms and legs . Do you know how to get rid or lighten stretch marks. P.S. just because I don’t love the appearance of my stretch marks dosent mean I’m not so proud of my body for carrying my baby for 9 whole months .

I've been using this since day 1 and so far I haven't gotten a stretch mark I always try to keep my tummy hydrated so I put the lotions on in the morning after a shower, sometimes during the day if I have time and at night I especially try to put extra lotion on.
