Bruises stretch mark help!!

Holly • 🌼 mum to Penelope 🧡 baby boy due March 23

Hi all, so my belly has definitely seen better days! My belly button started going quite dark which was fine but now bruises and stretch marks are forming (the picture doesn’t even do it justice). I don’t mind having stretch marks but they’re starting to get really painful like I can feel my skin over stretching. I’m measuring ahead and we have a family of big babies so I’m expecting her to be big! I’m a FTM, 33 weeks +3 days.

Does anyone have any advice please? I’ve been using weleda oil and coco Palmer butter but it still hurts 😫

Thank you in advance x

You can try bio oil see if that works.

My first pregnancy I used cocoa butter and it didn’t help at all. This pregnancy I’m using dr teals coconut oil lotion. And has been much better!

I have the bruising and it is so painful. All I can do is just lay down.

It’s horrible isn’t it :( mine stings! I’ve started putting a hemp butter on it, which is actually made for healing scars but that seems to be helping sooth the pain!
