My stretch marks have turned red. What do I do?

Chuyên gia

The reason stretch marks turn red is because of rapid expansion and stretching of the skin. Best way to prevent it is to use creams and moisturisers. Since stretch marks occur from skin stretching, the resulting red marks are most common in certain parts of the body at risk for stretching. You can think of new stretch marks as small injuries to your skin. Your skin then has a mild inflammatory response as your tissues try to adapt to the stretching effects. This explains why fresh stretch marks are red. The redness doesn’t last forever. As stretch marks heal, they’ll eventually turn white and start to become less noticeable as they fade over time.

Which scans are recommended for me during the third trimester?

Chuyên gia

It is important to monitor the growth of the baby and the amniotic fluid around the baby. Your doctor may also send you to check the bloodflow to the baby to ensure the baby is getting enough oxygen supply. If the mum is planning on a vaginal delivery, I would recommend a swap of the vaginal discharge to check for this bacteria called Group B Streptococcus. Nearing delivery, I would do a Cardiotocography (CTG) to check the baby's heartbeat and monitor the contractions.
