Body Changes During Pregnancy
During pregnancy, the growing baby as well as hormonal changes stretch the skin, muscles, and supporting structures.
Here are some of the common condition faced by fellow mommies:
Stubborn Fat, Cellulite, and Saggy Belly Skin
Saggy and flabby belly after pregnancy is perfectly normal and common.
During pregnancy, your skin stretches to accommodate your growing baby. Skin sags when collagen fibers rupture as it overstretches.
Those who gain a lot of weight during pregnancy will notice excess belly fat that is difficult to get rid of.
Stretch Marks and Pigmentation on Belly
Stretch marks are a result of hormonal changes coupled with the dermal tissue of the skin being stretched rapidly during the period of fetal growth and weight gain in pregnancy.
Darkening of skin around the abdomen and other body parts is commonly due to hormonal changes.
Diastasis Recti (Widened Belly Muscles)
If you still look pregnant months after giving birth, you may have a diastasis recti.
Pregnancy usually stretches out and separates your six-pack abdominal muscles. “Diastasis recti” means the space between your left and right belly muscles has widened, leaving a gap that allows your belly to stick out.
