How long does pregnancy have stretch marks?
When stretch marks grow is a concern of most pregnant women. Stretch marks generally begin to appear in the second trimester, and are more obvious one month before delivery.
Under normal circumstances, the elastic fibers of skin and rectus abdominis maintain certain elasticity, so that they can contract freely within a certain limit, so lines are not easy to appear. When a woman is pregnant for more than three months, the enlarged uterus protrudes from the pelvic cavity and develops into the abdominal cavity, the fetus continues to grow, the abdomen continues to expand, the skin elastic fibers and abdominal muscles begin to overstretch, the gestational age increases, and many collagen fibers under the skin are finally "pulled off". After 6 months of pregnancy, the abdomen bulges rapidly, at which time the elastic fibers of the skin gradually break and the stretch marks become clearer.
In fact, the growth of stretch marks varies from person to person. According to the different constitution of pregnant women, the time when stretch marks begin to grow will be different. But generally speaking, pregnant women will start to see stretch marks after 5~6 months of pregnancy, which usually appear in thighs and stomachs. Because the skin elasticity of pregnant women is different, some pregnant women will have stretch marks in the third trimester or even one month before delivery, and some pregnant women even have no long stretch marks throughout pregnancy, which is normal.
1. Take preventive measures.
The pregnant woman's belly is getting bigger day by day, and the elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the pregnant woman's abdominal skin will be pulled by external forces, causing injuries and fractures. Coupled with hormonal changes during pregnancy, it will lead to the appearance of stretch marks.
Basically, pregnant women will have stretch marks, and pregnant mothers should take preventive measures. Before the stretch marks have grown, you can start to use body milk with strong moisture retention and high collagen content, and apply more.
You should also eat more foods rich in collagen. Pig's trotters are good food, and prevention work is crucial.
2. Stretch marks are everywhere.
In fact, stretch marks grow not only on the stomach, but also on the chest, legs, buttocks and inner thighs.
Therefore, pregnant women must pay attention to other parts when maintaining, and must pay attention to the skin care products applied to the chest when breastfeeding after childbirth, otherwise it will affect the baby's health.
3. Not everyone can remove stretch marks.
Some pregnant women cannot be completely removed due to physical reasons, but they can be diluted. Mothers who cannot be completely removed want to choose laser removal, but this must be approved by the doctor.
Most pregnant women can still remove stretch marks through long-term persistence and care. Pregnant women should choose different skin care products for different skin types. For example, mothers with scar constitution should choose firming essence.
Before applying skin care products, you can take a hot bath or hot compress on the parts with stretch marks, which can promote the absorption of skin care products. Proper massage is better.
