Hi! Any idea what’s this? Malapit lg sa hips and lower back. 17 weeks pregnant.

Ay, parang stretch marks na yan, mama! At 17 weeks, normal lang na lumalaki ang belly and skin is stretching na, lalo na kung dry ang skin mo normally, that actually makes it more prone to marks. A few of us pregnant mums din nag-experience ng ganyan around this time, di na agad nakakati but the dryness is there. Since you're not uncomfortable naman, it's likely just your skin adjusting, pero I'd suggest checking with your OB next visit para sure lang, especially since medyo unusual pa rin any new marks or changes. In the meantime, Mama's Choice Stretchmark Cream & Serum is pregnancy-safe and really helps with the dryness and preventing marks from worsening, nakita ko sa iba ang difference, and they're made safe para sa pregnancy at breastfeeding pa.
