stretchmarks.......

[highlans]

I am fortunate not to have any even after two kids I have allways since I can remember used cream (anything that is on offer at the time) after bathing may be that or I may just have the type of skin that will not get them. Either way I am thankfull.

My sons girl friend is 18, has never been pregnant and has stretch marks! She weighs all of 100 lbs, has never been heavy, and uses mosturizers by the gallon.
I'm convinced they're hereditary. There is simply no other excuse for her to have them!

My son has them on his back--he is very thin and about 6'3" he says lots of his friends that are tall have them from growing so fast during the growth spurts and especially since he is so thin.

yeah my hubs has them from working out on his arms and legs
and i have seen girls who have had kids and dont have one stretch mark and i have seen girls without kids and without alot of fat or chubs or baby fat whatever we may call it and they have them

i think it really is hereditary to

i have really bad skin and thats goes hand and hand with my stretchmarks cause i have really bad stretch marks, my doctor was saying if i had my tummy tuck i would probably lose about 20 pounds not that the fat weighs thatmuch but becusae its so heavy and alot of skin that it tends to bag down on other places amking it harder to lose weight inthose other places and then you know its chain
it just keeps on going.

but i have been waiting to save for it
instead of financing it
i just had my hubs truck lifted for him and of course he needed new big tired and rims and so i just bought those also and while iw as at it a new grill and a new stero system and some truck nuts

so im stuck saving again for a year maybe
but its ok i will feel better but im scared

anyway im way off the topic but yeah stretch marks are horrible
you can pull my skin and stick a flashlight to it and see the light from the other side, its so thin and worn out from my twins
and just from beign small and having big kids
but im working my way back down
yeah im on pound number 32 so lets keep counting

Something that works really good for stretch marks is something called "Mother's Helper".

No kids yet for me, though I am terrified of stretch marks, but I know they're a fact of life. When I was a teenager, I grew this ghetto-booty I have now in about three days....it just appeared, stretch marks and all. I'm serious!

Most of the time you get them as a teenager or younger due to a huge growth spurt. I have talked to several doctors and they all say the same thing. Either you will get them or you won't. I was the coco butter queen while I was pregnant. Nothing helped and I was stretched beyond belief. Like Tink said... I earned them all and I guess they are my badge of honor as well.
