I believe the answer is Striae gravidarum. They are also known as pregnancy stretch marks, is a specific form of scarring of the skin of the abdominal area due to sudden weight gain during pregnancy. They reflect separation within the underlying connective tissue of the skin. After birth they usually fade, although they never disappear completely.
