Hi Esther,

Its best to apply start of your pregnancy...but normally i think gynae will start asking you to apply fifth month of pregnancy.

Is it true that the gynae will recommend to apply for the 5th mth to prevent stretch mark? Did your gynae really do that?

My gynae didn't ask me to apply anything although when I went for the 5th month detailed scan... I've started to use Palmer's stretch mark cream but don't really like the smell of it. Must quickly finish this tube and look for other alternatives hehe..

my gynae didnt recommend, he said those stretch mark cream is no use one, also said if it works, he will long selling it to his patients. he claimed that whether one has stretch marks depends on individual.

never use any stretch mark since day one of my pregnancy. bought it but too lazy to apply. my friends all use it during their first trimester and when compare we still have stretch mark after delivery. But it's all up to individual, some are just lucky that they're free of stretch mark. Mine start to appear only during the 6th months or so.
Same like jan4january, my gynae also never recommend and he told me it's up to individual. Guess most mummies always take prevention by applying it earlier, it's good but have to do it religiously to see effect.

Stretch marks appeared around 7th mth.

I thought I was lucky that my baby bump was barely noticeable till 7th mth. Then it grew & grew (the size doubled or tripled by 9th mth).

Skin was so tight!!! Awful purple lines appeared ard the belly button area. No amt of cream can help me if the skin is stretched so much within such 2-3 mth.

haiz, it would hv been better if growth of baby bump was more gradual. Then maybe the cream can help a little bit.

I hear from friends the purplish lines will fade to whitish lines in time. My legs are still a little swollen almost 3 weeks after delivery. Hope they are not cellulite...
