Stretch marks appears due to genetic, not because of the size of belly etc. Mine suddenly appeared during 3rd trimester, I thought I have been doing it right by applying oil, cream and all the expensive stuffs but it still appeared and I was abit sad. But due to my belly was huge, I thought the marks were less insignificant but right after I gave birth, i felt everything crushed me with Big red marks. As I do care alot of my appearance and felt ugly about it. No one told me I could get depression with it and I did. 6months after giving birth, the marks were slightly lighter but still very visible. I learnt how to love my body, scars and the belly fats. I’m sharing this because I hope you will be as prepared and embrace motherhood. Love yourself more as this was what I did not expect and was not prepared. Today, when I see my stretch marks i see it as my battle scar. Haha we fought our way through and delivered another human that will forever call us mama. 😍❤️

My mum & sis had a lot of stretch marks.. I knew I was gonna have them but I wasn’t prepared for it. What’s worse is that I have been diligently applying the cream since week 5 & when I thought I could escape, it appeared at week 37 (Tummy & hips & thighs) 🥲 After birth, my calves starting growing stretch marks as well.. Everytime I look at it together with my flabby tummy, I feel shitty about it… I’m still trying to face the fact that there’s nothing I can do about it 🤷🏻‍♀️ One important tip is to… never ever scratch your stretch marks no matter how itchy it is.
