Yes: Women may experience an increase in stretch marks during pregnancy as a result of your growing baby causing a stretching in your skin.

Stretch marks : Of course, as skin stretches beyond its usual limits stretch marks occur as elastic fibers in the skin permanently break and cause mild redness and inflammation.
