Stretch marks are also the important part of pregnancy and they come early or late phase of pregnancy. As you put on weight the muscles of abdomen stretched and the marks appear in the form of red ,fine lines in the early or late of seventh month.

The marks starts in the forms of fine red lines in the dermis(middle layer of skin) but as the time passes and baby grows in your tummy she needs more and more space and to accomodate her, your abdomen also stretched more and more . Due to this stretching the lines become more prominent and finally appear on outer layer ( epidermis) of your skin in the form of scar and later called stretch mark.

Not every woman gets stretch marks during pregnancy. Doctors think some woman get stretch marks because their bodies produce more of the hormone, corticosteroid, than normal. This hormone decreases the amount of collagen in the skin, and collagen is the protein which keeps our skin fibres stretchy. Most people’s skin needs daily help to give it the best chance to survive the 9+ months intact.
