Warning to all: expensive creams and lotions and potions DO NOT WORK. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! It’s all down to genetics, weight gain and hydration. Don’t believe the clever marketing and just use whatever makes you feel good.
This is my second pregnancy 34 weeks and bump is itching like mad with all the stretch marks coming through. I had some stretch marks from my first pregnancy and I used neal’s yard moisturiser and some other creams almost twice daily to no avail. This time round I’ve been using the expert midwife elastic fantastic 2/3 times a day religiously and now my old stretch marks are getting stretch marks. Uffffffff.
Also, my bump is massive and I’ve gain 15kg which may account for the stretch marks. I wasn’t even skinny to begin with and had belly fat which I foolishly thought would somehow protect me from stretch marks lol.
Anyway, no idea how I’m going to damage control the stretch marks when I have a few more weeks to go 🤪
