I am wondering when will stretch marks appear? I am currently 8 weeks pregnant. Do i wait for them to appear then apply or should i start applying before they appear. What are the better products in the markets? Thanks.

This is what I'm worried about. I'm 4 weeks pregnant and I know it's still too early to worry about stretch marks but I hope I'm prepared when it comes. I heard they start to appear when the baby is fully developed and starts to grow some hair. The hair makes it itchy that's why mummies scratch their tummies.

Actually you should start to apply as early as possible coz when the stretch mark started to appear, is already too late. I started since i found i'm preg and whole preg put on 20+Kg, tummy stretch till very big but yet no stretch mark at all. I did not use any cream for anti-stretch mark but only olive oil. Last time my sis oso only use baby oil and no stretch mark at all also. I believe oil is gjving enuf moisture abd will help to prevent stretch mark.

I used to apply diligently too... but stretch marks still appeared when I was about 30 weeks pregnant... started slowly amd suddenly boom... haiz... but anyway I have checked that stretch marks are genetic too... if your mum has it, the chances of u getting it is also higher... well my mum has so I guess that is y I have too...

My wife used Clarins Huile tonic during her first pregnancy ceremoniously every night. Smells good, has an aromatherapy effect. Zero stretch marks after birth.

Hi Si En,

I apply all kinds of lotions / moisturizers on my tummy to prevent dryness and hopefully stretchmarks back then. I was worried about having rash on my tummy which seems to happen to some friends. I was pretty happy that I see no stretchmarks. Until the last 2mths, they all surfaced!! I think 1stly due to tiredness, I kind of stop applying the lotion and the sudden increased growth of the tummy i believe is the main culprit!!

Apply consistently throughout your pregnancy but whichever the case if you do get stretchmark, embrace them as your battlescar for your darling baby! =)

Hi Si En,

I started applying very early like week 8-9? Can't really remember cos my belly button starts feeling itchy…maybe from the stretch. Once I apply the oil, the itch goes away.
Recently I purchased the Clarins Huile Tonic and was told to apply 3rd month onwards.
