Did you get stretchmarks...I know this sounds vain...just curious!

Did you get stretchmarks?  Just curious how many people got them...

I practically bathed in palmers cocobutter during my entire pregnancy without a stretch mark to be seen.  Low and behold AFTER the birth - there they were!!!!!!!!  Under my bellybutton one on each side!!  Ughh,  just knew I couldn't get away without getting any!!!

i am COVERED in stretchmarks. i got most of them from my first pregnancy. i really didnt think that is was possible to get any more... i was wrong.lol  i have them on my boobs, on my upper arms by my armpits, between my legs, and of course.... all over my stomach. i look like i was attacked by some animal with nasty claws!!  but its all worth it for my kids.

No stretch marks but I used the belly cream stuff from the moment I had a  hpt.  Not sure if that was the reason but I will stick to it anyway.  Genetics were not on my side... my mom had 6 kids and boy did we do some damage!!  She loves us anyway!!

Babydreams9 - that little one was not so little.  11 lbs. 1 oz - what healthy baby - you are so lucky.

I would gladly take stretch marks if it meant I could have another little one...

Ugh, I agree that the saggy belly skin is the worst. DS thinks it is funny to lift my shirt up and smack it. Stretchmarks I can live with but the flap I cannot.

My baby weighed 11 lbs. 1 oz at birth.... it would have been a miracle to have no stretch marks!! Alas, I have a TON of them. I started getting them at 30 weeks.

Oh I thought of something that I have heard a bunch of guys have said..  Most guys really like the stretchmarks because it's like "battle wounds"  ahaha  This one guy told me, it just tells a lot about to woman and her kids!  :)  So that's a positive side to look at it, I suppose!
