Hello ladies

I have a question. If you get stretchmarks on a certain area of your body (during pregnancy) does that mean that you won't be able to get that area back into shape after you have the baby? Thanks.

Joi,

There are not dumb questions so don't ever let that stop you from asking. You will be able to get that area into shape (reducing fat and toning or shaping the underlying muscles). The stretch marks are permanent but will improve over time. Some women do report a change in the shape and compostion of their bodies after pregnancy, but you can get into shape.

HTH!
