when you mommas first got stretch marks did they appear gradually or overnight basically? and did they start low and go up or just anywhere? Trying to prepare myself in case some appear...so paranoid lol
@bre_bresee, those aren't organic. trust me. I hate palmers cocoa butter. never bought it for anything. it's cheap and ingredients aren't a good.... try the one from honest company or search organic cocoa butter. what lotion do you use all over your body? use that too on your belly. I hope nothing that has harsh fragrance and dyes.... stretchmarks are also HEREDITARY AND NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THIS. it's great that you are talking good care of your skin :)
I think that's part of the reason I haven't gotten any.. twice a day I use a lot of coconut oil and palmers cocoa butter specially formulated with elastin, collagen, vitamin E and argan oil. and i drink as much water as I can because that naturally hydrates skin... I'm 5'3 and was 115 before I got pregnant so I hope all my hard work to care for my bump and moisturize it is paying off 🙌 @babytj0214
@bre_bresee, i put belly balm its from honest companyand lotion on my belly everyday after I shower. you have to take care of your skin before it stretches. it will stretch so by moisturizing it you help the skins elasticity and process better. also depends on how small or big you are. I'm tiny. I'm 4'8" and before I got pregnant I was 120. my 1st son was 8 pounds 6 ounces and this one is going to be bigger. I've always taken good care of my skin since I was 12. so u just have to take care of your skin before the skin stretches out and when it does moisturizing it helps alot. use or organic products so it doesn't hurt your baby. everything you eat and put on your body your baby's body absorbs it too. so moisturize away..... EVERYDAY STARTING TODAY......
I've been trying sooo hard to prevent them 😦 including never scratching! lots of water and lots of coconut oil too lol. fingers crossed. either way I will be happy to finally hold my babygirl 😇 @astridoll
yeah mine wouldn't be too bad if they did that and go where I had some by my hips. I'm just trying to know what to expect so I don't wake up and cry 😅 hormones...lol @astridoll
that's what I'm afraid of ladies 😨 I'm gonna wake up one morning & BAM, all the way up to my boobs 😂😂 that's how I feel anyway. and I made it so far without any I'm so paranoid lol @kirklandj @rainbowbaby2015
I had stretch marks before getting pregnant but they were really light (the matches my skin tone before I get tan in the summer) and since ending pregnant I got some that are red or dark pink, and they literally appeared over night. I only started with one and Now I have a whole bunch
