Not a mommy, but have a question pertaining to it! =P

I am careful about sex, and everything involved with my partner, but I know there is always a chance of becoming pregnant.

No, I do not think I'm pregant, but I was wondering if there are any people that used to be bigger then lost it..but got pregant then.. did you get a lot of stretch marks or did it pretty much stay the same? I always wonder that. I was 179 pounds before losing weight, I had about...4 stretchmarks on my belly (now that are nearly invisible) but I really did gain a lottt of weight in my stomach.

Hoping that I eat right and gain the healthy 30-40 pounds in pregancy do you think I will get more stretchmarks? Beucase now I weigh 111 pounds..so if I gain 30-40 I still will be under what I used to weigh...
I also understand that baby is mostly belly sometimes but sometimes its EVERYWHERE. hahah I also still have flabby belly, and whenever I bend over and suck in its just saggy skin thats all wrinkley hahah.

Either way if I do get them at least they're marks of strength and courage. Any mommy who's out there congratulations on your babies! It is truely a beautiful thing!

I weighed about 190 when I got preggy(was 140 2 years before that) and I had some stretch marks before but they got a heck of alot worse when I was preggy. I got them on my hips,tummy,underarms,boobs,back. I hate them.It all has to do with the elasticity of your skin. Ask your mom. If she has alot of them its most likely that you will get them to. My mom also got attacked by them. Im just happy that two years later they are starting to fade. I do have a few purple ones that look like they are hear to stay : ( Im just planning on a tummy tuck when I hit my goal weight to get rid of any access skin/stretch marks.

Well, I'm sure it was all worth it.. beucase now you have a beautiful babyyyy =)

But my mom was bigger when she was younger..lost a lot of weight..then had my brother..I think she didnt get any with him but somehow got some with me? So I guess it just depends..luck of the draw! hahaha
I also heard with girls you tend to gain weight all over and with boys its usually all belly..but I think thats a little bit of a guessing game though too..

Well I already have stretch marks on my boobs, inner thighs, and stomach.. they just are all faded..so I guess only time will tell!

Thanks for your input and good luck with your little one! =) How old is he/she?

When I was a teenager I weighed [at my heaviest] 180-185. I lost 50lbs at 17yrs old [I am 24 now] and have kept it off. I had some stretch marks but from working out they faded and or got a lot smaller, almost invisible. I got pregnant last year [had my baby in February] and right before giving birth I was 240lbs. I am now down to 180 [and still going]. I got a lot of stretch marks in my stomach. Some of them have faded already but the ones down on my lower belly are visible.

Chances are if your going to get them, your going to get them. When your pregnant your stomach stretches out so far it looks like its going to rip. Its a lot different than just gaining some pudge in the belly and losing it.
