My first baby was born 6 weeks premature and weighed only 6lbs at birth. I got stretchmarks. I am only 5' 4", and very short waisted. There isn't much room for a baby to go, except out. It bothered me a lot, at first. Then I had a 9lb. 5 oz. baby, and I didn't care about stretchmarks, I just wanted him *out*.

Eight years later, they are still there. But, they are much more faint than I could have ever hoped they would be. I really don't think about them much any more. Unfortunately, despite thousands of hours of Pilates for Abs (teasers are from the devil) my stomach still sags and droops. I think only a tummy tuck is gonna get rid of that.

So if you escaped that, you're good. I don't recommend having 9lb babies if you can help it. ;?)
