I believe that overweight people have observed their own skin and generally have lines similar to scars, especially around the belly or thighs, which are more common, but the color is very light and still different from stretch marks. The color of stretch marks during pregnancy is darker, which looks very scary and can cause itching. So, is it important for pregnant women to gently scratch their belly?
A pregnant woman gently scratching her belly once in a while will not have any effect. When itching, the pregnant woman wants to scratch, but because the skin has already been stretched to this point, gentle scratching can also lead to skin infection, so it is still not possible to scratch. If the itching is really uncomfortable, you can gently rub it with your hands to relieve the itching sensation, but it is not the fundamental solution because pregnant women often feel itching in their stomachs during this period.
This is a common situation for pregnant women. Applying moisturizer and olive oil to their belly can alleviate this uncomfortable feeling. If it is particularly itchy and uncomfortable, taking a shower or covering the belly with a hot towel can also relieve the discomfort, and the fetus inside the belly will also feel very comfortable. After the appearance of stretch marks, they are basically irreversible and may fade in the following years, but they will not disappear.
