Stretch marks, as the name suggests, refer to some pink or purplish red wavy patterns of different width and length on the abdominal skin of women after pregnancy.
In fact, in addition to the belly, they may also appear on the inside and outside of the thighs, buttocks, chest, back waist and arms.
Generally speaking, as long as pregnant more than 6 months, stretch marks will appear.
Many expectant mothers in pregnancy more than 6 months, pregnancy marks have been very obvious, to ask me how to eliminate stretch marks?
I must say, stretch mark is not you want to eliminate, want to eliminate can eliminate!
Because, stretch mark is after abdomen bulge, skin elasticity fiber and collagen fiber damage or rupture cause.
If you already see stretch marks on your skin, it means that the elastic fibers of your skin have broken.
At this time, the most important thing for expectant mothers to consider is to control their weight, supplement protein, and use the abdominal support belt & hellip; & hellip; to reduce the pressure on the skin caused by the continued enlargement of the abdomen, so as to make the stretch marks come more slowly.
As for the stretch marks that have appeared, it is still necessary to wait for unloading to promote the elastic fiber repair through abdominal movement and protein supplement.
However, just as skin healing will leave scars, it is unlikely to fully recover to the state before pregnancy.
Therefore, it is better for expectant mothers to take preventive measures and resolutely implement them in the early pregnancy rather than wait until they have pregnancy marks!
So, what are the precautions?
1. Control weight gain
The Mainland generally suggests that the weight gain during pregnancy should be controlled at 11-14 kg. However, according to Wang Shijun's understanding, some regions, such as Taiwan, will recommend 10-12 kg of weight gain during pregnancy, while Japan will recommend about 9 kg!
2. Sports
Take a look at Guo Fucheng, who is still a handsome man over 50 years old, we know that sports can promote the growth of skin collagen. Therefore, if the mother to be is healthy, remember to exercise every day.
3. Use a brace
If the abdomen has already bulged and you feel pressure, that is, after 4 months of pregnancy, the mother to be can consider using the abdominal strap to relieve the pressure on the low back ligament and abdominal skin due to the enlargement of the uterus.
4. Olive oil or skin care products
Many expectant mothers said that during their pregnancy, they insisted on using olive oil or other maintenance products to massage the skin, which indeed played a role in preventing and desalinating stretch marks.
