Pregnancy Threat : Are Pergnant Women Prone To The Formation Of Stretch Marks?

Having a baby is a blessing that mothers are thankful for. One of the greatest consequences that it has on the body is the formation of stretch marks. The rapid growth of the belly causes the overstretching of the skin in that area. This results to damage of the collagen and elastin so skin loses it elasticity. When these elastic fibers of the skin are destroyed, the skin will begin to show red and purple lines forming on it. Mothers should be aware that there are certain ways to reduce the formation of stretch marks during and after pregnancy.

During pregnancy, it is very important to eat a healthy diet. Gaining weight is expected during pregnancy but doctors recommend that gaining 25 to 35 pounds will reduce the formation of stretch marks. This gain in weight is healthy for the baby as well as for the skin. Maintaining a constant rate of weight gain prevents rapid stretching of the skin.

Skin must always be moisturized during pregnancy. The appearance of stretch marks usually comes during the later trimester of the pregnancy, when the belly has really expanded. It is highly recommended to moisturize the skin during the first and second trimester of the pregnancy. This enhances the production of collagen in the dermis, keeping it intact even when over stretched.

Drinking a lot of water prevents the formation of stretch marks during and after pregnancy. Since this keeps the skin hydrated, there is a supply of moisture to the skin. Drinking 10 to 12 glasses of water each day will ensure that the skin is healthy and moisturized. Besides from this, water helps in flushing out the toxins form the skin, keeping it healthy and clean.

Proper diet with a lot of vitamins keeps the skin healthy and free of stretch marks. Loading up of vitamins A, C and E ensure that the skin retains its elasticity. With enough supply of these things, the skin is able to renew and heal faster. Despite overstretching of the skin, with an ample supply of these vitamins, the skin will be able to renew the production of elastin and collagen.

Skin care must still be done after pregnancy. The application of cocoa butter is the most effective way to remove stretch marks after pr

egnancy. Cocoa butter penetrates into the dermis, allowing for faster repair of the damaged elastin and collagen on the skin. Continue to drink water and taking vitamins even after pregnancy to completely reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the skin.
