What are the causes of Stretch Marks?
These mainly happen when your body increases in size or gains weight to accommodate the baby. The skin needs to adapt to the continuous contracting and expanding movements and the skin does not get sufficient time to adjust, as a result, the tissues start to tear and result in scars. The other factors that come into play along with this are genetics, the degree of stress on the skin, and the cortisol level of your body.
Stages of Stretch Marks
There are typically three stages to this
Stage 1: Early itchy stretch marks in pink colour, the skin around may look thin or flattened.
Stage 2: As they enlarge in size the colour changes to red or purple
Stage 3: With time as the stretch marks mature, they lose their red-pink hue and appear to be pale
white or silver. They also get irregular in shape or length.
How can you Avoid Stretch Marks During Pregnancy?
There is nothing that will help you completely prevent the stretch marks but you can always take precautions to help reduce them and minimize their appearance:
– Eat a rich nutrient diet filled with antioxidants, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B2 and B3, and
tonnes of proteins. That helps build collagen and elastin fibres.
– Drink Plenty Water
– Begin a pregnancy exercise regimen as it improves circulation and minimizes the possibility of
varicose veins. Exercising boosts your energy and improves your mood and sleep pattern
– Try gaining weight in moderation (gaining 11 to 13 kg is normal but it should happen
gradually over time)
– Keep your skin hydrated by using hyaluronic acid
