I became ugly after pregnancy

Many pregnant women feel that they have become uglier since they became pregnant. In fact, a large part of it is caused by the psychological factors of the pregnant women themselves. Another reason is that the body's growth hormone becomes unstable after pregnancy. So, why do women become uglier after pregnancy?

1. What is the reason for becoming ugly during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the skin will darken. This is mainly because pregnancy will cause changes in the body's growth hormone. This changed growth hormone will increase the activity of melanocytes, making it very easy for melanin to be deposited on the skin, and the skin will naturally darken. In addition, after pregnancy, the secretion of adrenaline gradually increases, which can easily cause stretch marks on the skin or dark spots on the facial skin.

After pregnancy, you should eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, strawberry sprouts and kiwis, which are high in vitamin C and can play the role of whitening skin. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.

During pregnancy, everyone should also pay attention to maintaining a good attitude, getting enough sleep, massaging the skin more often, and drinking more water every day. In summer, it is not suitable to let the sun shine on the skin for a long time. In order to reduce the formation of stretch marks, you should do some appropriate exercise after pregnancy to replenish nutrients. You should not overeat or drink too much, and you should control your weight.

2. What causes nipple changes during pregnancy?

The color of the areola of most pregnant women becomes darker, which is actually a normal physiological phenomenon. This is also caused by the changes in female hormones in the pregnant woman's body. Some pregnant women also have enlarged nipples due to estrogen stimulation. However, some pregnant women are not prone to such changes. The key depends on their physical fitness. After giving birth, most pregnant women’s bodies have recovered in all aspects to be ready for pregnancy, so pregnant women don’t need to take this change too seriously and just take things as they come.
