I don't understand stretch marks at all. I have had bad stretch marks all down the outside of my thighs since I was 14 and I never gained or lost weight, I was always skinny. So why the stretch marks? No idea.

Then I developed them on my breasts, and yes they did grow but slowly over years.

So I really expected them in pregnancy, but my belly is smooth as the proverbial baby's arse. But I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch. I am still expecting them. I've been moisturising my belly and boobs with Nivea since I conceived. I think just the gentle daily massage of the skin has helped.

But you know what, I'm 31 and married and about to be a mum, so if I turn into one big hideous stretch mark is doesn't really matter
