During pregnancy, most mothers will experience stretch marks, which may not disappear after delivery. Although long stretch marks during pregnancy are normal, many mothers are worried that their stretch marks may not be the same color because some mothers' stretch marks have always been red. So, is it normal for stretch marks to remain red after giving birth?
The main reason for the appearance of stretch marks during pregnancy is that the mother's hormone changes during pregnancy are larger than usual. The skin fibers that swell up in the abdomen due to the growth of the child will be damaged and broken, causing the abdominal skin to become thinner and gradually turning into pink patterns of different widths and lengths. Most of them are still wavy, but some mothers have red stretch marks during pregnancy.
If it is a mother who has already given birth, the color of stretch marks depends on the time before delivery. If the time before delivery is short, it is normal for stretch marks to be red. After giving birth, the stretch marks will gradually stabilize, and at this time, a white or light white skin damage will appear on the stretch marks. The abdomen will also have a pine bark like appearance, which greatly affects the beauty of the abdomen.
Once stretch marks form, they are difficult to disappear naturally. Currently, mothers use stretch mark repair products to lighten their stretch marks after pregnancy. Olive oil can also be applied during pregnancy to reduce or avoid the formation of stretch marks. Stretch marks are also hereditary, not every woman will have stretch marks.
