No, not all girls get stretch marks from pregnancy.
While pregnancy stretch marks, scientifically known as striae gravidarum, are quite common, they do not affect every pregnant woman. According to information available, they are prevalent in pregnancy, impacting around 8 out of 10 pregnant women. This statistic indicates that a significant number of pregnant women do experience stretch marks, but it also means that approximately 2 out of 10 do not develop them during pregnancy.
These marks typically emerge as pregnancy progresses and the body grows to accommodate the developing baby. They are most commonly observed on specific areas of the body that undergo significant stretching, such as:
- The tummy
- Sometimes on the upper thighs
- And the breasts
The likelihood of developing stretch marks can be influenced by various factors, including genetics, skin type, and the degree of skin stretching.
