Stretch Marks During Pregnancy

Pregnancy stretch marks are very common problem for ladies and these develop during pregnancy, when the women start gaining weight and their tummy also increases. The prime reason why the stretch marks form is because, during 6th and 7th months of pregnancy, production of the hormone relaxin increases in a woman's body which softens the pubic bone, widens cervix and helps labour. It also increases its breakdown, inhibiting collagen production and affects collagen metabolism. This weakens the skin and brings down its elasticity because of which risk of developing stretch marks raises.

 

These stretch marks seem like lines running across belly, breasts, thighs and upper arms. There are various modern and traditional methods through which women can get rid of Pregnancy stretch marks. Ladies should get treatment of stretch marks as soon as they notice it so that the problem does not increase and they get rid of them completely.
