I’ve realized there really is no way to stop them lol. Has anyone else gotten them super early in their first pregnancy?

I started getting some very small ones around 16 weeks and now I’m 22 weeks and they’re suddenly appearing below my stomach and growing upwards. Since probably 6-8 weeks I’ve been guzzling water, drinking collagen, eating well for the most part and keeping weight gain steady. I’ve been using oils and belly butters since like 8 weeks and last week started religiously using Mederma Stretchmark Therapy to see if it helps with prevention. I might try bio oil after the baby is born to see if it helps with fading.

Guess I just have to accept it lol, thankfully my husband is amazing and says it doesn’t matter, I just really thought I could control it somehow
