So I know they all diet and work out like crazy to get back into shape ASAP but what about stretch marks? Are they digitally removed? What about Victoria Secret models who are practically naked on the runway? I don't see stretch marks ....
Have you seen famous moms with stretch marks from having a baby? They can't ALWAYS cover them up right?

Oh I know right?!? Makes me so mad, there is no freakin way that every celeb whose been pregnant hasn't gotten stretch marks. No way. I know laser surgery can get rid of them... ??

@bpcmarj: you'd think if they had stretch marks they just wouldn't photograph bare bellied?? But what about runway models?

A shitload of makeup will cover up anything. They got tricks up their sleeves. I'm sure stretch marks are a joke to those makeup artists =P

But what about when they are photographed at the beach? Make-up?

Oh you mean by papparazi? Maybe they have makeup on or have sprayed themselves down with self tanner--that'll hide lots of stuff.
I think a lot of them just got blessed by the good skin fairy, too.

Yeah, probably luck. I didn't get any until I hit 40 weeks, dammit. As if being past due isn't bad enough.

I wonder this, too!
I'd just be happy if mine faded more... 8 months PP, they're still pretty dark red. Ugh!

I'd imagine that many gain do little weight that they don't get them?!

I know for a fact that Gwen Stefani has quite a few stretch marks on her back.

I'm sure some get them and some don't. Just like me, if they have stretchmarks and care to hide them, they just don't go out with their tummy showing.

Yeah, I do know a big factor is how much weight you gain and how quickly. And most supermodels are very, very careful about only gaining the recommended amount. Plus, one suits are in style, too. also...maybe how young they are when they have their kids?

I didn't get any stretch marks either. So... Maybe it's not such a magical occurance after all???

I didn't really get any either (none on my belly and the tiny few on one leg disappeared completely less than 6 weeks pp) and I gained 50+ lbs (I'm 5'3" and 118lbs, so I don't have a large frame either) maybe it's genetics? My mom didn't get any.

I think those who do just hide them. It seems to be part luck of the draw, part genetics - all those creams are snake oil. I think it's more how you carry; I've only gained 22 pounds but it is 100% in my stomach (5'2, was about 120) and I have stretch marks alll over the front. My sister is about my size but thinner and carried preemie twins but carried differently and got none.
