Otherwise, I agree with PP, you really aren't safe until after you deliver the baby. On the plus side, if you don't get them for #1, you won't get them for subsequent babies either.

oh that is soo not true... lol sorry to say..

i didn't ge them with my daughter.. she's 2 and 9 months and im pregnant with baby #2 (due today) and i have a couple of stretch marks

I heard that stretch marks ARE genetic....can someone settle this?

I got some stretch marks with first and then none with my second until 38 weeks!!!! Talk about adding insult to injury!
