A member asked:

I was badly scarred by fire on my upper belly - above the waist. will this skin stretch normally as my pregnancy progresses?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scar may not: if scar goes all the way around, front to back, may not stretch, surrounding tissues may accommodate the pregnancy, please consult your doctor to make a plan for scar tissue
