Many pregnant women on the abdomen note the appearance of a dark pigment band. In most cases, it appears on the 7th month of pregnancy, when a woman has a rounded abdomen. This is due to the work of hormones and should not be an excuse for unrest, you do not need to somehow act on it, because after birth the hormonal background normalizes and after a few months the dark band will pass by itself. But it also happens that it will not disappear as quickly as we would like it to be.
Some women wait for several years until the skin color becomes uniform. It just takes time, it is impossible to give any general advice how to get rid of the pigmented strip.
Dark band on the abdomen after childbirth
On the abdomen of pregnant women, in addition to the dark strip, hair may appear. For every woman, this happens in different ways. At someone a hormonal strip can appear from 1-st month of pregnancy, at someone appears after sorts or at all does not appear. But in most cases, the band appears in the last months of pregnancy. In addition, dark stripes appear in different places and at different times. Some argue that if a belly has a dark strip, then a pregnant woman will have a boy, and if there is no strip, then a girl will be born. But this is a myth, it is proved that the strips on the abdomen do not depend on the sex of the child.
The band on the abdomen can be either very dark or barely noticeable, it is individual for every woman. There is nothing wrong with this, as this is due to the strong pigmentation of the skin in a pregnant woman.
Do not rush events. This is a temporary process, after the birth the hormonal background is gradually restored, and the pigmentation becomes pale. Skin color can become normal throughout the year, each woman has it individually. Just wait and have patience. During breastfeeding, many drugs can not be used, since they can cause an allergy in the baby, watch your own health.
By its structure, the skin in the area of the strip is significantly different from the rest of the skin. Use a soft peel for sensitive skin, and use a natural washcloth better. Use the funds from stretch marks after the shower, they work well on a dark strip on the stomach.
If the state of health allows and there is such a possibility, then recover to the sauna, arrange yourself lightening wraps or honey peeling. After such procedures, the skin will become silky and soft, and the strip will become invisible.
If the skin is not very sensitive, you can make lightening masks from low-fat cottage cheese, cucumber or lemon juice. Good effects on the strip will have decoctions of lime and chamomile. They lighten and add extra softness. But be careful. Such experiments during breastfeeding can cause a strong allergy in a baby.
