Oh man, I do not feel you on this one. I have one stretch mark that I got with my first pregnancy (where my belly ring was) and I hate it. I try to avoid them like the plague.

I guess you could avoid lotion and scratch your belly when it itches....

I never got any with my first son. This baby, I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and put on 5 pounds since last week, with stretch marks showing up literally over night. My first pregnancy belly was perfect, like in magazines. This pregnancy, i have a map of veins showing you all the roads to Arkansas and  Tennessee and a bruised looking belly button.  It's awful.

My friend literally had a PERFECT belly, and we were all thinking she's SO lucky she didn't get any, and after she had her daughter you could see them all, they were silvery, not red, but we couldn't see then while she was pregnant at all, haha! You're lucky, I got them with my son!
