Only 10 weeks and already seeing stretch marks?
Here ya go hun! Hope this helps. Most women who have gone through the rigors of pregnancy have a permanent reminder – stretch marks. These marks appear as red or dark horizontal threads along the skin, and can become permanent scars. Stretch marks occur when skin stretches and expands quickly and beyond its limit. Tiny tears appear in the supporting layers of skin. Pregnancy stretch marks are most common on the abdomen, breasts, thighs or buttocks. The issue is how to get rid of stretch marks? Factors that influence whether or not a pregnant woman will get stretch marks include: — Heredity: if your mother had them, it is likely you will too. — Ethnicity: women with greater amounts of melanin in their skin are less prone. — Water: ingested during pregnancy, keeping skin hydrated decreases the chance a woman will get stretch marks. — Scratching: as your stomach expands, the skin may become scratchy. Do not scratch; instead, rub lotion or powder on to alleviate the itchiness.
