   i still think it is hereditary.  Mum and nana both have no stretchmarks (well, from pregnancy) and I don't have any either (from pregnancy - from puberty well, tahts another story!)

   Stretch marks!!!  Far out, you should see mine, they're disgusting!!  Most of them are red, angry looking things down the front of my stomach running from my bellybutton (or where that USED to be) to down near my bikini line.  YUCK!!  I have been using cocoa butter every day but alas it no work..... ah well, mummy badges aye

   Mine were weird. I didn't have any while I was pregnant but upon 'deflation' I developed white ones. Maybe they were just not very visible when I was big???

   Nikki I had the same thing.. we are both pretty little gals so our skin stretched itself silly to accomodate our babes. I've put on a little weight now and they are getting more visable    
btw, Jezsika, you look great :)

   Nikki - i definately cannot see how you would be paranoid about wearing a bikini!!!!  btw Mike said you are hot. lolol...   
never got any stretch marks from either of the girls - but did get some on thighs around 18 when i gained a heap of weight then lost it again... they go from light to dark depending on if i gain any weight in my thighs.  I used to still be confident enuf to wear a bikini... now i still do but cover it up with a white halter top - which goes see thru anyway - but still holds everything in a little - i see now what my sis says about after having 2nd kid the little mummy pouch never goes away.. if i stick out my tummy i can quite easily look as big as i did at 5 months preggers!
