Who here is afraid of getting stretchmarks, in the future when we (females) get preganet? Or who even has some now?

Yes i am. I think i have stretch marks from being fat around the middle. Well i have -shamefully-3 rolls of fat on my stomach and there are like red lines. Im just hoping they are lines from pressure but yeah....

Once i can get back tot he gym im going to try and lose them. But hey im not confident in a bikini so yeah i doubt stretch marks would affect me.

Yeah I do. I was pretty skinny, not unhelathy though, so let's call it slim. Then I went through a growth spurt, and so I ate a lot, and gained stretch marks.
I'm not unfit, but the damned things are there and there to say. You can apply vitamin E and creams etc to make it fade when they're fresh but they won't ever go completely away.
I was never ever self conscious about my appearance but that made me really upset because I thought, 'it doesn't matter how fit and good I look, I'll always have them.'
But yeah, stretchies are quite common.
If you take good care of your skin, and stay fit, they won't turn up, at least not for a loong time. But even if you are in shape, and you get a growth spurt, like me for instance, you can get them.

there are some prescription creams available tat have been shown to make some improvement in appearance

there is also a couple of laser treatments.. ... unsure if it is approved for use in Australia.. but i remember reading about them.. they can make a ~50% reduction in appearace..

u can see a GP to get a dermatologist referral if u are very concerned about it..

it is very common..

lol you fat cunt, you can't 'lose' your stretch marks if you go to the gym, you're stuck with it for life, so for now think of them like tattoos that you've got, and now you regret having them done.

I have a few on my hips/boobs just from growing. They aren't that noticeable, if I was worried about them I'd get a cream or something. Meh. The vast majority of girls who have reached puberty would have a couple at least, it's nothing to worry about.

big hips with stretch marks are better than no hips and no stretch marks!

I've got them in various places, they generally start off red/purpley and over time end up pretty white.

If you want to prevent having them, the best thing to do is to moisturize your whole body (or the places where they may develop), on regular basis.

I sometimes see those um, fat chicks who have them on their arms, near their shoulders, and its not a pretty sight imo.

Apparently people have a genetic predisposition to stretch marks. So if yo mamma had them, you're probably going to get them.

My mamma had none. So woo!
