As if you do not have enough to go through changes when you are pregnant. The skin, yes, it goes through many kinds of changes in itself. For me, most were unpleasant. Everyone told me to hang on, because I will not soon shine pregnancy, but of course for me, it never came.

These less-than-glamorous pregnancy symptoms such as acne, veins, pigmentation and several others are caused by the change of the hormone. This has certainly not helped the generally fragile state of most pregnant women body image. That is why a good pregnancy skin care is so important. So before you bury your head in the sand, find out what you can do to keep your skin looking as fabulous as you are.

Stretch Marks
Striae gravidarum, or stretch marks are probably the most discussed of the skin changes during pregnancy. Almost all women or fears thinking of them. They will appear in 50 - 90 of all pregnant women, usually showing up in the second half of pregnancy. While the majority will be on the lower abdomen, they can also be found on the thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts and arms. They tend to be pink-skinned, in the light of women, and women in dark skinned people they will be lighter than the surrounding skin. Striae are not painful, but the stretching of the skin may cause a tingling sensation or itching.

There are some factors that you should know contribute to stretch marks:

• Family (If your mother or sister has them, guess what?)
• Weight Gain (rapid or excessive will make these worse.)
• Nutritional Status (Well healthy skin hydrated and stretches better.)
• Ethnicity (African American women make less.)

Solution: Some people say that lotions or creams work and others do not think that it helps any. However, if there was a chance that it may work for you, so why not try it. The good thing about it is ultimately they do fade after you have the baby. The stretch mark will be bright as a scar. While most women do not think much about them, or to consider them badges of motherhood, others want them removed. There are new techniques and surgical procedures under review all the time. Talk to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon if you are interested.

Mask pregnancy
Melanotropin, also known as cloasma, is secreted in greater quantity during pregnancy, which can cause pigmentation to occur on the nose, cheeks and forehead of an expectant mother. While it is not caused by sunlight, this will aggravate the situation. 45 - 70% of women will experience at the beginning of the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy.

Solution: Chloasma disappear after delivery. Most women are used to cover this if it becomes a problem.

Acne
Thought it was gone for good? Think again, while many women find that the hormones of pregnancy relieve their acne and leave them with that "glowing" skin of pregnancy, many women find their skin more oily and susceptible to acne break outs.

Solution: Here's where high school appeals come into play ... Be sure you are actually drink plenty of water, wash your face, and to avoid things that cause you to exit. Basically do what works, but it should not be capricious. Remember, acne is temporary.

Spider Veins
These can appear most commonly on the face, neck, chest, arms and legs. They are due to the increased level of estrogen in your body. They are often star shaped and slightly raised. They are slightly blue and white do not turn to the pressure. 65 white females and 10 African American women will experience these.

Solution: These veins are generally boring after childbirth.

Linea Negra
This is a line extending from the pubic bone darker at the top of the uterus (responsible), most often appeared for the first time moms around the third month. Multiparous women (had more than one child) will often see it earlier. While all women suffer from this line, do not believe the rumors that it means a boy baby is on the way.

Solution: This usually disappears after birth when your belly is decreasing.

Palmar Erythema
A mottled or redness of the palms of the hands. This is caused by the rising levels of estrogen during pregnancy. About 60% of Caucasian women will experience this, with about 35% of African American women.

Solution: It's not really noticeable, and that will disappear after giving birth.
