3rd trimester
Evolutionary stripes
Val3rie
After not seeing anything on my belly for a long time, two weeks ago they appeared despite all the rubbing: stretch marks on the lower part of my belly and a little one around my navel l. I'm now 32 weeks.
It's not too bad yet, not that big.
But now my question (to the experienced moms) is how did your stretch marks evolve if you had them?
I'm afraid that because my belly still has to grow so much, they'll become super big... do they grow/tear along anyway? Or is there a chance they'll stay 'modest'?

No panic, Val3rie. I got them too, and they often fade or become lighter after giving birth. But sometimes they do remain visible. Keep applying it because it nourishes the skin, even if it doesn't directly help with the stretch marks. If you're unsure? Give your midwife or the child health clinic a call for reassurance. You're definitely not alone in this.
