Skin the largest organ in our body can be cut or damaged, but it will never tear like cloth unless there is an infection that ruptures. Pain is associated with nerves. During pregnancy many nerves can be implicated due to the growth of the fetus. Things will settle down after baby arrives.</p> <p>cs33ca  M.Sc.
