Most pregnant expectant mothers will have a vertical line in the middle of their belly or crossing their navel after pregnancy, called the gestational line.

Let the editor explain it to everyone one by one.
The difference between pregnancy lines and stretch marks:
Expectant mothers should know that the gestational line is a normal phenomenon, and most people will gradually disappear after giving birth. On the contrary, stretch marks are difficult to disappear. During pregnancy, they appear in red stripes on the belly, buttocks, inner thighs, and under the breasts. After giving birth, they gradually turn from red to silver white and will not completely disappear;
Some pregnant women will not grow stretch marks, but they should pay attention to prevention when they are 4 months pregnant. After taking a bath, they can apply some lotion or cream to prevent stretch marks; The formation of the gestational line is mainly influenced by hormones during pregnancy. The bulging of the abdomen causes varying degrees of damage or breakage to the elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the skin due to external pulling, resulting in thinning and thinning of the skin. The abdominal wall skin will appear, which is proportional to the weight gain of the pregnant woman herself. The faster the weight gain, the higher the incidence of stretch marks.
