Stretch marks

Mayla

My stretch marks are getting so bad not only am I dreading my after baby body (first baby) but they are so itchy, sore and just painful all the time. My whole belly feels like it’s being ripped open.

Since 12 weeks pregnant I had been rubbing coconut oil on my belly at least once a week. As I started getting some little stretch marks around 34 weeks I would do it more often. im 38 weeks now and have stretch marks from the top of my pubic bone, all the way up to my belly button and all the way around to my hips.

Anyone else? Is there anything to stop them getting worse or to stop them from hurting so much. I’m convinced my baby will break through my stretch marks before I even go into labour
