Answer the question... I want to see how many dillusional girls we have.

LOL I'M KIDDING. Kind of I thought that since I was slathing myself in cocoabutter and vitamin E that I wouldn't have any, and lo and behold, I looked like a dang bomb went off on my stomach by the end of my pregnancy.

I know you won't know for SURE... but just answer with your gut feeling!

I think I'll get some, too. I already have a ton on my inner thighs, behind my knees, on my hips and a couple under my arms. I guess I got the gene, too.

I think I will get them. I have them on my hips, really light white ones, but they're still there.

I have some on my breasts so I'm assuming I'll get some on my stomach. Hopefully not a lot, though.

I've had stretch marks since middle school when I gained weight too fast.

My mom didn't get any either... but I still voted yes! I guess I'm not as optimistic as you Breanna!
But I won't complain if I happen to miss out on that part of pregnancy!

I am getting them on my stomach already!!!! I am not thrilled about it, but I'm growing twice as fast... so I definitely voted yes!

I voted yes. Although, my mother didn't get a single stretch mark.

The only stretch marks I got with AJ were on my chest. I went from B to a D in the first trimester though. My bbs were huge (for me). DH didn't mind too much but I couldn't wait to be done nursing to get my nice B's back. Of course, now that I'm almost 14 weeks pregnant again, I'm back to a D. ANyway, I think the reason I got stretch marks on them (and they are just small and just a few) was because I wasn't wearing a bra at night. So - ladies - where your bras at night!!! Even if you are wearing a sports bra or a nursing-sleeping bra - wear one! It will help!!

I have a feeling that if I voted 'no' - I would jinx myself, so I voted 'yes' in hopes of tricking those pesky stretch marks.
