Girls i know it's so early on to be having stretch marks, but a tiny patch of them have appeared right next to my belly button. Im only 10+3 pregnant, so i know it's way too early. Just wondering what it could be down too? (Sorry about my bloated belly, not the skinniest of girls)

Have you gained weight so far? Stretch marks sometimes a pear with fast weight gain, doesn't need to be a lot of weight though.

Feel mega bloated, but don't think i've gained much weight

Hmm, sorry I'm no help at all that is quite early to get stretch marks.

I googled it, couldn't find a cause so far but some advice given was, wear a belly support, keep hydrated, keep skin moisturised, and cocoa butter is the vest apparently.

Get a secret saviours support belt.

hormones can cause them.

Ok, rub in bio oil regularly if it’s not a big spend for you. If you’ve got proper cash to splash creme de la mer do some flash stuff & failing that some basic olive oil from the supermarket is ok..... if only someone had told me that!! BUT it’s OK! I genuinely thought i’d Eventually get a tummy tuck I was so distraught about mine but in the end they’re fine....they’re part of me & my history...i’m Really struggling with the way women are essentially meant to be ageless & perfection these days🙄

You either get stretch marks or you don't. Depends on your skin and size of baby etc. It's out of your control no matter how many expensive creams you buy! I hate mine but no choice except to put up and shut up unfortunately.

Whether and when you get stretch marks is down to your genes.

They will fade after the babies born.

Creams and oils, expensive or otherwise, don't make any difference as they aren't formed on the skins surface.
