Hey Neha and Riddhi... thnx a tonne fa your kind responses. However, one more query pls. M a lill scared too as I'm not aware of the odds during pregnancy. Basically not sure if everything is going well before the next doc visit.

U cn start applying bio oil now..

Hi Jyothi. here is what Dr Riddhi got to say. Hi Jyothi , There is no particular time to start using the stretch marks cream . U can start using it from now . Ideally stretch marks cream or lotions don't really help so much . It's the muscles which are stretching inside to accommodate the baby . The skin shows it up because the skin stretched too. As the skin stretches , it can get dry and itchy . The dryness is the reason why u should apply creams & lotions. So that U keep ur skin supple and soft . And prevent it from itching . Practically stretch marks whichever brand you would take in , will help you lighten the stretch marks but not completely go away unless u don't get back your abdominal strength . It's a show off that you had a baby ! :) ! Products u could use are - palmers cream or Vit E oil . Tc .
