Most women love beauty very much, which is human nature, and those who don’t seem to love beauty are actually just lazy. Therefore, many women are concerned. After pregnancy, the belly has changed so much. Can it return to the same shape after delivery? What happens to your belly after pregnancy?

1. Stretch marks. Many pregnant mothers begin to develop stretch marks around 4 months after delivery. Why do stretch marks occur? Because during pregnancy, affected by hormones and levels, the elastic fibers and collagen fibers in the pregnant mother's abdomen will be damaged and broken as the abdomen continues to grow, leaving some scars of different shapes after delivery.

This is really painful for some pregnant mothers who love beauty. Even if they look uncomfortable, they will no longer be able to wear navel-baring clothes in the future. I don’t know if you still remember that in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", our little fairy Hailan was disgusted because she ate too much during pregnancy and left a lot of stretch marks on her abdomen.

2. Pregnancy line. After pregnancy, due to the precipitation of melanin, the white line on the abdomen, which was originally similar to the color of the skin, becomes darker and turns into a black line, extending from below the belly button to the chest, which is quite unsightly.

3. Long hair. Affected by hormone levels, some pregnant mothers have thicker body hair, and some hair even grows to their abdomen and chest. Is this the female version of Tarzan? It looks so weird.

4. Abdominal bulge. After pregnancy, as the fetus gets bigger and bigger, the uterus also gets bigger and bigger, and the pregnant mother's abdomen is also stretched bigger and bigger. The bigger the belly is stretched, the less elastic it will be in the future. Can my belly return to its original appearance after giving birth?

The belly also undergoes great changes after pregnancy. Some changes are difficult for pregnant mothers to accept, but some are recoverable after delivery, while others are irreversible.

1. Recoverable. Pregnancy lines and long hair are affected by changes in hormone levels. As the mother's hormone levels slowly return to normal after childbirth, the pregnancy lines will gradually fade, and the grown hair will slowly fall off.

2. Unrecoverable. Stretch marks and abdominal muscle laxity cannot be fully restored to their prenatal state. Postpartum stretch marks will remain directly on the abdomen, and the abdominal muscles can increase elasticity through some methods, because the abdominal skin has no elasticity and the abdomen becomes loose. The originally flat abdomen now looks like a small belly. What can I do to recover better?

1. Stretch marks

① During pregnancy, you must pay attention to controlling your weight gain and do not let your weight gain too much all at once, otherwise it will be easier to leave stretch marks.

② You can apply some olive oil or other vegetable oils to moisturize the abdominal skin.

③Exercising more during pregnancy can increase the elasticity of the skin and reduce the occurrence of stretch marks.

2. The abdomen is loose.

①Appropriately supplement collagen. Mothers can eat more collagen-rich foods after giving birth to increase skin elasticity. For example, you can eat more pig trotters, pig skin and other foods.

②Drink more water. If the human skin is dehydrated, it will become dry and lose its elasticity. Therefore, mothers should drink plenty of water to make the skin plump and elastic.

③Use restraints reasonably. Mothers can use restraints after giving birth to help their abdominal muscles recover as quickly as possible. However, be careful not to use the restraint for too long. You cannot wear it for an hour before and after each meal, and you must take it off when sleeping.

④ Do more exercise. Doing more exercise can speed up your metabolism and make your skin more elastic and full of vitality. More suitable exercises include yoga, sit-ups, etc. When doing exercise, you should do it according to your body's recovery situation, and don't force it.

This kind of change before and after pregnancy is very normal. Although the abdomen has undergone so many changes, the mother's life has also undergone great changes. It begins officially from the day the baby is born. Now that I have become a mother, I can endure the pain during pregnancy and childbirth for the sake of my baby. These stretch marks are just a small thing. I hope that through hard work, my belly can recover as much as possible.
