Dang Bunny What a hateful witch you are!! Ashley is trying to help someone and you decide to completely insult her for it. I cant believe anyone is surprised about octomom while there are tv shows airing with huge families with a ridiculous amount of kids. People are in competition to keep having more so they can have a tv show too. The only one Ive heard anyone complain about is this mom. Do you really think the people on 18 and counting are paying all of their own bills? No way!! Plus the older kids have to raise the younger kids because parents are too busy with more kids. You still cant jump on the person who is trying to do good and help you ignorant ass! We obviously know who needs attention!

I gained about 45lbs with my 1st pregnancy and I didn't get any stretchmarks. I drank alot of water and I went for walks. Plus I was very active prior to the pregnancy. And shortly after, I shrank back down to my pre-pregnancy size. With my second on the otherhand, I was not active at all. I slept most of the day and gained about 60lbs. So I did get some light stretch marks on the lower part of my belly and on both thighs and my butt. Although the marks are hardly noticeable and I still went back to my pre-pregnancy size yet again...the skin on my belly is a little more slack now. So basicly, keep your weight gain at a slow and healthy rate. Drink alot of water. Take care of your skin long before you plan to conceive. And being active and having good genes has a role in it as well.

i have 2 kids, no stretch marks and i didnt use a darn thing...its all in the genes

I got no strech marks when I was pregnant. The trick is to keep the skin moisturized. I used a lotion called Addison.

Are you kidding me you actually wanna help that money greedy plastic surgery octomom with baby clothes you must never read anything i doubt you ever pick up a book she was donated a 600,000 dollar home a bunch of nannys a lot of $$$$$ for interviews you know before she got all that plastic surgery she should have thought of putting that towards her babys that selfish mental patient of a female you know there are a lot of other woman out there with the same problem of not having enough money to support there children but she purposly got insemenated are you in need of some sort of public attention?

I got a few light stechmarks around my belly button, where my belly button pirecing was and one on my left side. Does anyone no the octomom's address so I can send her some clothes for her baby?

I carried my son only 25 weeks, he is five now. I didn't get stretch marks; I used a combination of cocoa butter, Shea butter, and olive oil. The secret is to keep the skin well lubricated so that it is pliable and able to stretch. As for the mom with 14 kids, I wish the hoopla would go away, she has them and even if the state tried to take them for whatever reason they would still be on the taxpayers dime, I would rather they stay with their family and everyone stop judging. God (though I am not religious) has a plan for all 14. So leave the woman alone. Everyone needs to stop crying about 14 loved and wanted children and cry about the millions that are unloved, unwanted and aborted (though I believe in woman's rights to choose). Talk about the Duggars or Jon & Kate, they probably received gov't assistance or some type of charity as well; if you pay your cable bill, then you're footing their bills as well.

I have 4 children my oldest is 13 and youngest is 5 months old-Maybe doctors need to see what I kind of skin I have, because I have no stretch marks even after baby #4. And I am back to my regular size. All I ever used was coco butter lotion every now and then.

I had my daughter when I was 20 years old and go stretch marks then and they stayed and I had my youngest when I was 24 and didn't hardly get any from her but I already had enough from the first pregnancy. 28 years later I still have stretch marks. I don't think anything takes them away. I have tried it all and cocoa butter doesn't work either. I count it as a blessing which shows that I gave birth and God blessed me with two beautiful daughters.

I like everyone else is wondering why this woman would have so many kids but little income. Then I had to think about something. We are so quick to judge others when we live in glass houses. This woman beat the odds of having eight babies, which in that situation have a high mortality rate. If you believe in God then you will know he is not going to place anything here that is not intended to be here. We are complaining that the tax dollars will have to help support her but what don't our tax dollars support? The woman did say she didn't intend to have 8 babies just one more but look what happened. We are judging her based on her income but apparently the one that gives life felt that she would be able to handle it. He must have a plan for all of the children. Because I don't want to lean not onto my own understandings, I am going to pray for and wish her the best of luck. I'm sure she can use that more than the criticism she is receiving.

Mine did too, although my son is now 8 years old, I am 29 and my stomach STILL looks like that,,, anyone have any secrets NOT involving sugery??

That's exactly how my stomach stayed after I had my son. He's 11 months now and it still looks the same. ;(
