Do you have stretch marks in early pregnancy?

Many female friends do not understand much about their body changes during their first pregnancy. We must learn more about the relevant content about our own body changes to effectively avoid unnecessary problems and bring unnecessary harm to ourselves. Now, not only unmarried girls love beauty, but pregnant women also want to be beautiful during pregnancy. However, the annoying stretch marks will appear during pregnancy. When will they appear?

Under normal circumstances, the elastic fibers in the skin and the rectus abdominis muscles in the human abdomen have a certain elasticity and can stretch freely within a certain range. However, when the pregnant woman reaches a certain stage of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus protrudes from the pelvic cavity and gradually develops into the abdominal cavity, causing the abdomen to begin to swell, and the elastic fibers in the skin and the rectus abdominis muscles are stretched accordingly. When the stretching exceeds a certain limit, the elastic fibers in the skin will break, and the rectus abdominis tendon will also separate to varying degrees. As the degree of breakage of the elastic fibers in the skin deepens, irregular longitudinal cracks in light red or purple will appear, which are what we often call stretch marks. During their first pregnancy, about 70%-90% of pregnant women will develop stretch marks. In addition, stretch marks are also closely related to genetics. If the mother has deep stretch marks, you should prevent the occurrence of stretch marks. Stretch marks will be accompanied by itching or even pain on the abdomen, thighs or chest. Do not scratch the skin when itchy. Once scratched, it may cause infection. Moreover, itchy skin is not necessarily a sign of stretch marks. It may also be pruritus during pregnancy caused by hormonal changes. If the itching becomes severe, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

There are several ways to prevent and reduce stretch marks: 1. Balanced nutrition: During pregnancy, you should avoid consuming too much sweets and fried foods. You should supplement with rich vitamins and minerals, as well as foods rich in protein. A balanced nutrition can make your skin more elastic. 2. Control your weight: Pregnant women should control their weight between 11 and 14 kg throughout pregnancy, and their weight per month should not exceed 2 kg. If they are too fat, it will aggravate the formation of stretch marks. 3. Appropriate use of health care products: Some health care products are specially designed for pregnant women. They can increase skin elasticity and prevent stretch marks, but they do not have much effect on stretch marks that have already formed. It is recommended not to take medicine casually. You can choose health care products under the guidance of a doctor. Otherwise, accidentally ingesting hormone drugs will also cause similar atrophy marks. 4. Use a belly support belt: it can bear the gravity burden of the abdomen and reduce excessive pulling of the skin.

There are stretch marks in the early stages of pregnancy. The reactions of each pregnant mother are different. Many people have symptoms of stretch marks in the middle of pregnancy. When this problem occurs, we should not have too much psychological pressure. Taking effective methods to alleviate it in time can help us improve. Be sure to take preventive measures in the early stages of pregnancy.
