I didn't get a black line on my belly during pregnancy

Nowadays, women pay more and more attention to their own image. Even if they are already pregnant, most women will do a good job of daily skin care. However, many women who are preparing for pregnancy have also found that many pregnant women around them have stretch marks. Stretch marks refer to black stripes that appear on the woman's abdomen or chest and thighs. This will undoubtedly have a huge impact on women's image, and some women may even worry about affecting the relationship between husband and wife.

The black stripes on the pregnant woman's abdomen actually refer to the linea nigra. Usually, this type of black stripes appears between 14 weeks and 4 months of pregnancy. In fact, it is related to the pregnant woman's physical fitness, age, and skin color. The time of occurrence is also different, but generally, after the pregnant woman's belly bulges, the linea nigra gradually appears. For some pregnant women, it will be more obvious in the late pregnancy.

A black stripe appears in the center of the abdomen during pregnancy, which is the midline of pregnancy. The darkening of the midline of pregnancy is related to the intensity of the body's hormone response. If there is no black stripe on the abdomen after pregnancy, it is also a normal performance.

The appearance of the linea nigra is related to pigmentation. If a woman's skin is relatively fair and the pigmentation is not obvious, no obvious black stripes can be seen. If the skin is darker, it is easy to have pigmentation. The midline of pregnancy will be more obvious. The absence of black stripes is also a normal performance. Just do a good job of prenatal check-ups.

Pregnant women often have black stripes on their abdomens. The main reason is that the metabolism of estrogen and androgen is unbalanced during pregnancy, which leads to increased melanin and causes abdominal hyperplasia. Pigmentation appears in the middle line and gradually turns into a black stripe. This black stripe extends from the perineum to the navel, and sometimes even to the chest. Some black stripes are light in color and cannot be seen, while others are very dark in color and even hair may grow. However, all of this is normal.

The black stripe on the pregnant woman's abdomen will generally disappear within a few months to a year after delivery. If you are worried that this line will affect your appearance. Everyone can also take relevant preventive measures. For example, from the second trimester to one month after giving birth, you can use a special anti-stretch mark moisturizing lotion or vegetable oil for pregnant women to massage 1 to 2 times a day to accelerate the disappearance of the pregnancy line.

Pregnant women may develop a pregnancy line when they are 14 weeks to 4 months pregnant, but this pregnancy line will gradually become lighter after giving birth. However, there are some pregnant women whose melanin is difficult to disappear, so it may take one or two years after giving birth for it to disappear, and sometimes some marks will be left. Here, ladies should actually do relevant preventive work during the pregnancy preparation period.
