Stretchmarks????

[chitten]

If you got them when did they appear???

And how many people are lucky enough to get away with not having any?????

I gained 44 lbs.  I was very lucky not to get a single one (still wondering how, huh?)
It took me a long while to loose all that weigh..

The key is to drink lots of water!! Hydrate!!!!! Lotions don't really do much but the H2O will! Good luck everyone!!!

I'm not pregnant at the moment and I don't have any kids. I miscarried back in sept 07. Within months I started gaining weight. Ive gained a total of 20 lbs since the miscarriage...so it's like I was still pregnant! I've started getting stretchmarks on my hips and my thighs! NOT FAIR! At least you guys got/get a baby out of it! Lol...Dang! Now I gotta lose a bunch of weight! My mom says my appetite increased when I was pregnant and i think it just never went back to normal..Maybe it was depression. But I'm also thinking the m/c screwed up my hormones so that when I went back on birth control I gained weight from it...which I never had a problem with before *sighs* :( :( :( :( ....

I don't have any stretch marks yet I'm 16 weeks. I am 100% sure I will get them because my skin is just that way. I have stretch marks from when I was 11 years old still. My mother had 3 kids and no stretch marks at all. But I have a lot of stretch marks on my legs and hips way before I was pregnant.

I just don't want them on my boobs I love my boobs the way they are.

I'm only about 3 1/2 months and I already got quite a few of them.
But I guess it just depends on how fit your tummy was before pregnancy, and how durable your skin is to stretching.

I ended up with a bad concaution...
Fit tummy + non-stretching skin...
Ewwww.
