What are Pregnancy Stretch Marks?
Did you know that up to 90% of women experience stretch marks during pregnancy? These marks, known as striae, form as the skin rapidly stretches to accommodate your growing baby.
As the skin’s collagen and elastin fibres tear, stretch marks appear, initially as reddish or purplish streaks. Over time, they may fade to a lighter or silvery colour, but many women seek treatments to reduce their appearance and restore the smoothness of their skin post-pregnancy.
What Causes Pregnancy Stretch Marks?
Pregnancy stretch marks develop due to rapid weight gain and the natural expansion of the abdomen, thighs, and breasts during pregnancy. Hormonal changes also play a role in weakening the skin’s structure, making it more prone to tearing. Genetics, the size of the baby, and even age can affect how prominent these stretch marks become.
Symptoms of Pregnancy Stretch Marks
- Red or purple streaks on the abdomen, thighs, breasts, or hips
- Fade to a lighter, silvery colour over time
- May feel slightly raised or sunken compared to the surrounding skin
