Suddenly noticed some lines coming on my belly and hips, im in my 7th month. Why does this happen exactly, is it about the skin stretching too fast? curious to understand it better.
It is simply the skin expanding quickly to make room for the baby, beta, completely natural. Keep the skin moisturised and dont feel bad about them. They are marks of something beautiful.
They happen because the skin stretches fast as the belly grows and hormones change the skins elasticity. Genetics play a big part too, some get them no matter what. I moisturised daily which kept the itching down, but they came anyway and that is normal.
I felt a bit upset when they first appeared honestly, those lines on my belly. But then I read it is just the skin stretching for the baby and it is so common. They faded a lot after delivery.
