I am really worried that i am going to get stretch marks. do you have to lose loads of weight to get stretch marks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Stretch marks generally come from rapid changes in your body shape, usually from an increase in the size. Many teenage girls get stretch marks around their hips/thighs as they grow taller. Most women get stretch marks during pregnancy. Significant weight gain can also cause stretch marks. Weight loss doesn't cause stretch marks, but it can make them more apparent if you already have them.
