stretch marks

I’m 35 weeks pregnant & I have no stretch marks & no itchy belly. However, I’ve been moisturizing my skin post showers with oils for like 2 years now. I’ve alternated between Jojoba & almond oil!

During this pregnancy I’ve mainly been using Jojoba oil morning and night & whenever I lay down and have time I’ll give my belly a rub down haha.

My mom got me this oil (I’ll insert pic) mid 2nd trimester and I’ve been using it at night everyday bc it’s thicker!

Also! I drink collagen religiously & tons of water! I feel like it’s important to mention cause idk what’s helped me but maybe it’s a mix of all things. Goodluck :)

I used the Burt’s bee belly cream religiously. I was definitely scared because my belly was so big my belly button was so stretched out but now 6 months postpartum everything is going back to normal and no stretch marks

Bio oil liberally twice a day, I haven’t had a single stretch mark

I’ve had no stretch marks at all and now 3 weeks pp it’s like I’d never had a baby.

Unfortunately I think a lot of it is genetics (how big your belly is going to be + how elastic your skin is), but 3 things I would recommend to try and minimise them:
1. Drink a LOT of water.
2. Try to take as little weight as possible and do sport as long as you can in your pregnancy. I gained 7kg and stayed healthy and very active until labour.
3. Hydrate your belly daily and massage the skin to promote elasticity. Doesn’t matter with what cream/oil as long as it’s safe for pregnancy and it contains a moisturising molecule.

Hope this helps 😊
