A comment on the One Born Every Minute thread last night got me thinking about stretchmarks.
I have got stretchmarks on my thighs and bum from when I hit puberty. They are very pale and silvery now. I didn't put on a huge amount of weight in puberty, I was a very skinny teenager.
I have had three DCs, one of which was very large, and I did not get a single stretchmark.
I was 35, 37 and 43 when I had my DCs.
My question is - did I not get stretchmarks because I was an older mother? I am obviously a person who can and does get them, as at 16 I looked as if a cat had clawed my arse.
So could it be that you are more prone to getting them when you are young?
What's your experience? Come on, blow my theory out of the water, I can take it...
