Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Pigmentation is common during pregnancy.
You can start using bio oil right now.
It will take care of stretch marks as well as pigmentation.
Once you deliver, use a skin lightening cream like kojic acid.
This will help you in getting your skin color back.
It is safe in feeding.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
