What is the pregnancy line?

All girls will get pregnant. Pregnancy is very hard. You won’t know it unless you experience it yourself. You must be cautious when you are pregnant and pay attention to your diet and medication. There will be many unknown diseases waiting for pregnant mothers at this time. What is the pregnancy line? Let’s take a look at what these are.

A concept

The pregnancy line is usually an important anatomical mark of the human body in medicine. Due to changes in hormone levels during pregnancy, the color of this area will become darker and thicker for some people, and they may even grow body hair. The area may even extend upward to the chest and this midline may appear. However, for some people, there is no change at all. These are all normal. Usually, if you have more hair or more pigmentation, the pregnancy line will be more obvious. The appearance or absence of a pregnancy line has no necessary connection with the development of stretch marks, and for most people, the pregnancy line will naturally fade or disappear within one year after delivery.

Second formation time

It is said that it starts to appear around 3 months after pregnancy, with a vertical brown line running above and below the navel and gradually getting darker. For some people, it goes through to the navel, and for others, it only goes below.

For most sisters, a vertical line will appear in the middle of their belly or pass through the navel after they become pregnant. This is called the linea pregnancy. The linea pregnancy is mostly formed between the 2nd and 4th month of pregnancy.

Three causes

The reason for the formation of the pregnancy line is actually a pregnancy reaction. Due to the imbalance of estrogen and androgen secretion during pregnancy, the pigmentation becomes darker and heavier, causing pigment deposition in the lower layer of the skin. 90% of pregnant mothers will have a pregnancy line, which cannot recover on its own once formed. Professional repair is required to make the pigmentation gradually become lighter, paler, or even disappear. There is this line on the human abdomen, which is a normal physiological line. However, when you are not pregnant, this line is very light for most people and it is difficult to distinguish. However, some people also have a faint black line when they are not pregnant. After a woman becomes pregnant, the hormones in her body will change, which will cause an increase in melanin, resulting in pigmentation of the white line on the abdomen, which will gradually turn into a black line, which is the line of pregnancy. The appearance of a pregnancy line is a normal phenomenon, which is usually more obvious after the second trimester. After giving birth, most people's pregnancy lines will gradually fade or disappear.

Four treatment options

1. Balanced diet: Rich vitamins and minerals should be supplemented during pregnancy. Since collagen fibers themselves are made of protein, you can consume more protein-rich foods. Avoid consuming foods that are too oily, sweet (prone to obesity), or too salty (prone to edema).

2. Weight gain: In terms of the extent of weight gain during pregnancy, the monthly weight gain should not exceed 2 kg, and should be controlled between 11 and 14 kg throughout the pregnancy.

3. Take some health care products appropriately: There are some health care products for pregnant women, which can promote the growth of dermal fibers, increase skin elasticity and prevent pregnancy. However, it is recommended not to take medicine casually, but ask a doctor for help. Otherwise, if you accidentally take hormone drugs, it will cause similar stretch marks.

4. Use a belly support belt: it can bear the gravity burden of the abdomen and reduce excessive stretching and pulling of the skin.

5. Use professional stretch mark removal products: Expectant mothers who have the conditions can buy stretch mark removal products that are suitable for them.
