That sucks! I've also "heard" that it could be from a lack of some vitamin or something...

That I'm not sure of... maybe vitamin E, but I'm not an expert in these things.

Believe me, I did everything I could during my pregnancies to try and avoid getting stretch marks.. anti-stretch mark lotions, oils, tried to avoid scratching my belly, etc., ad nauseum... in the end I still got them bad.

Probably didn't help that my kids were practically born fully grown.. 9lbs 4oz for the first, 8lbs 5 oz the second...

Minor physical imperfections aren't disgusting to me. Overly critical people are....
Sooo... physical appearance has nothing to do with your choice of mate? I find that hard to believe. Everyone has some physical hot button, whether it be teeth, weight, muscles, height, eyes, hair, skin color, acne, etc. I honestly believe that people have a right to evaluate potential mates using whatever criteria they choose.

Suzy, "So how did your date go last night, what was he like?"

Mary, "He was nice and I really liked the HUGE bulge he had in his pants!"

Suzy, "You SLUT! So I guess this guy has a big dick, huh?"

Mary, "How would I know? I'm talking about his wallet!!!"

Yes I just made that bit of comedic genius up all by myself!!! Thank you, thank you!!!

5'6".. but my baby belly only went forward, hardly at all to the sides. Like, if you saw me from behind and didn't know me, you wouldn't know I was preggo. It wasn't until I turned sideways that the belly eclipsed the sun.

My wife watches that god damn John and Kate plus 8 show. In the beginning there is a picture of her belly when she was 9 months pregnant with the 6 babies. I bet her belly looks like a well used bean bag chair now.

Oh yeah, I saw that. She got a tummy tuck (care of some rich plastic surgeon's wife who donated her husband's services to Kate).
