The biggest change that occurs in a woman's body after pregnancy is that her belly gradually enlarges, and most pregnant women will develop stretch marks. Family members often speculate whether a woman is pregnant with a man or a woman, and many believe that stretch marks on the belly can indicate the gender of the fetus. So, do pregnant boys have stretch marks?
After a woman becomes pregnant, regardless of whether she is carrying a man or a woman, it is possible to develop stretch marks. Many people believe that if a woman does not have stretch marks after pregnancy, it means she is pregnant with a boy, but this statement is completely unreliable. Long stretch marks during pregnancy in women are caused by the rapid bulging of the abdomen, leading to the rupture of skin fibers. This indicates that the elasticity of the skin cannot keep up with the speed of belly enlargement, resulting in stretch marks. If a woman's belly grows slowly, stretch marks during pregnancy are rare or even non-existent.
Many women experience severe overconsumption of food during pregnancy, fearing that the fetus may not be adequately nourished. But this can easily cause pregnant women to gain weight too quickly, causing subcutaneous fat to bulge and easily causing skin fibers to break. Moreover, if pregnant women consume too many calories and nutrients, it is easy for the fetus to become too large, which can also cause the belly to grow too quickly, leading to the formation of stretch marks. And if the fetus is too large, it will not only cause stretch marks, but also make it difficult for pregnant women to give birth naturally.
