‘Mummy, you must have scratched yourself really hard to get these lines on your tummy’
‘I told my teacher that mumma has zebra crossing on her stomach’
‘Why is your tummy not smooth like mine?’
Sounds too familiar? Mostly, every mum has been subjected to these comments from their little ones. These innocuous lines, when spouted by anyone taller than a 3-footer, are more like barbed-wire lashing though. The post-pregnancy stretch marks may be signs of a war you won, but at the end of the day, it’s that subject in school you could do without, but still had to deal with for the sake of the certificate of merit.
Stretch marks are caused when you lose or gain weight from any part of your body. While they may fade on their own in some time, they never really disappear. You can lighten their presence by using certain specially formulated creams that repair the skin.
