Why is it that the pregnancy women get the stretch marks over their abdominal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretch marks: Stretch marks (striae) are caused by tearing of the dermis which leads to scarring. In pregnancy, development of striae may be due to hormonal changes as well as rapid weight increase and stretching of skin.
