Ladies,

I'm 21 weeks pregnant and already really struggling with stretch marks on my breasts. (Wonder if it's going to get worse.) Did anyone else get stretch marks this early? By the way, I don't have a baby bump yet, and I've barely gained any weight...

Best, Proud Mama-to-be!

    Hey Bas Kelly,

    First of all, huge congratulations on your pregnancy!

    I don't know if you're really good about slathering on stretch mark cream? I've been applying it every morning and evening since the day I found out I was pregnant, sometimes more per day once my belly got really big...

    I used Mustela brand cream (available at the pharmacy), and I'm very happy with it! I actually gained quite a lot of weight, almost 30kg, and had a huge belly—you'd think I was expecting triplets! I just regret not having rubbed my breasts too, and I do have a few stretch marks there. On my belly and buttocks, though, nothing, because I always made sure to apply it well there!

    So if I may give you some advice, make sure to lather up well!

    I also smeared myself but it didn't help at all. My whole belly is full of them, I find it really tough.
    But hey, I have a beautiful son for it. I got stretch marks in the last few weeks.

    I’ve been doing the same here, rubbing and rubbing.
    But also in the last week they were really coming in.. looked like a tiger hihi..
    But yeah, like Irma says, you get something beautiful back for it!
    I gave birth 11 months ago and I have to say they’re already much less noticeable!

    With me, there's still some redness. My son is now 6.5 months old, but it's getting less. But it will probably always stay like that, right? Pity, but it's getting better. I'm feeling good again, and after a few weeks, I'll fit back into my pants. And having a second is definitely a wish of ours. First, enjoy this time.

    Hey Irma é *M,

    you do get something beautiful back for it indeed..
    I actually don't complain about those stretch marks on my breasts either, first of all they're not really visible and my husband doesn't mind them.

    You two are fair-skinned (I assume) so the stretch marks are much less visible than in people with darker skin.
    Irma, mine were also on the red side at first, but after months or years (everyone's different), they turn white (almost the same as your own skin tone).

    Greetings

    I don't have very large breasts, so mine are firm, no sagging breasts, hence no issues with stretch marks on my breasts. By the way, I don't really have them on my stomach either; I guess that's the advantage of not having very large breasts. I did, however, breastfeed both my girls. Greetings, Miranda
