Pregnancy Symptoms & Pregnancy Tests: 30 Very Early Signs Of Pregnancy Few Women Know About

Stretch Marks

Beginning in your second trimester of pregnancy, you can find fine red lines on your stomach skin as your tummy stretches, resulting in tiny tears in the supporting tissue layers below. Although genetics and coloring play a major role in whether or not during pregnancy, you can have stretch marks.

In most women, these stretch marks will go away after child birth. Many people regain original tone and strength of the abdominal muscles within 3 months following delivery. However, in some women (who are overweight or obese), these stretch marks can stay and may convert into permanent ones.

Keeping an eye on your pregnancy weight gain, moisturizing with cocoa butter and consuming plenty of vitamin C foods will help minimize their presence.
