Hello ma'am and welcome.

This is clearly due to the stretching of your skin as your abdomen has grown in size due to the pregnancy. The best thing would be to keep your body and skin hydrated, drink plenty of water, use a lotion like calamine lotion on the affected region and a good moisturizer alternatively.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
