Other changes after pregnancy occur in the legs, face, and hair.
Weight gain during pregnancy can lead to spider veins, also known as varicose veins after pregnancy. These marks look similar to stretch marks, except they are bluish-violet in color and can become enlarged and interfere with blood circulation.
As far as your skin is concerned, it is possible to develop patches of dry skin, acne or pigmentation. Thanks to fluctuating hormone levels.
You can also end up losing up to a third of your hair. High levels of hormones during pregnancy support hair growth. But as soon as your hormone levels drop back to normal, it can lead to hair loss.
