I LOVE my obstetrician and his 'funny' little theories...

Fiona - I just had to comment on the theory about skin elasticity. I think he might be onto something there. I gave birth for the first time aged 42 after having 3 pregnancies in 12 months. I am constantly being told how great my skin is and how much younger than my years I look. I also did not get any stretchmarks at all during the pregnancy & got very minor ones that emerged two weeks afterwards, which disappeared within a few months. Can't even see them now. I've never heard this theory before but i reckon he's spot on.

I'd be inclined to agree. I generally have great skin and no stretchies **touches wood** I've fallen pregnant 3 times on the Pill.
