What scars or skin problems do you get from pregnancy?
Dana asked:
I’m not pregnant. I was just wondering.. what are the long lasting effects? What’s up with that dark line below the belly button? Do you have loose skin? A lot of people get the “mom pooch”.. can it go away?

It scares me.


I got a very very faint line below my belly button…but its not noticeable unless you know its there. I only got stretchmarks on my breasts.I have no idea about the mom pooch, I went back to my pre-pregnancy weight pretty much immediately after having my son.
I got acne and the nigera line. They both went away. I do have a tummy where the skin hangs. I don’t consider any of those ‘problems’. You define what you see as a ‘problem’. And none of this is scary, it is nature.
Only stretch marks….
depends on your body, the elasticity of your skin…. some people bounce right back, some seem to forever carry the extra weight, same with stretchmarks - some get them and some don’t
everyone is different
Stretch marks can occur but every woman is different some mothers go through their first pregnancy and walk out of it without a mark.. On the other hand there are other mothers who walk away with a lot of stretch marks @ their breasts, stretch marks on their inner and outer thighs, as well as all over their stomach and sides, Long term depends on a mothers exercising habits.. Some mothers end up with cellulite and stretched out “low” breasts. Like I said though every woman is different.
