I'm just very jealous of those people who don't get them! Stretch marks suck. I rubbed stuff on my tummy all the time -- didn't help me a bit. I went back to my pre-baby weight, but my tummy has never been quite the same. I'm not a big work out girl, so that's my fault. My belly button sure looks weird. It has a flat top now, it's not a cute circle any more.

I never got stretch marks and I've had two kids. But I thought it had something to do with the fact that I had a fat stomach to begin with, so my tummy didn't have to do a lot of stretching. I'm still not wearing a bikini though!

[CherryDarling]

Is he hooked on H or what?

She looks great. Biiiitch.

I used lotions twice daily with both kids...got a few stretch marks with pregnancy one, more with pregnancy two, and I used pretty decent quality lotion.

I lost the weight quickly, but I was breastfeeding, so I don't know how she's doing it. Keeping my tummy flat post breastfeeding has been tough, though, because your skin and muscles aren't as taught as the used to be, so eat a big meal and TA DAH, you look four months preggo for a few hours

^wow yeah thats what i thought about your belly being like that. my mom always says that too and she works hard at her diet and excercise so i know its not just b.s. or something, that sucks.

she doesn't seem as if she's breast feeding. if she's dieting, there's no way, she can produce enough milk. she's probably those type of women that care more about herself, and her image than her kids.

Of course JLO's stomach recovered nicely after having twins. She's filthy rich and can afford to pay for the best there is to aid her in making sure that her stomach would go back to normal. I'm sure during her pregnancy she had a chef/nutritionist/advisor to cook her special meals so the weight that she did gain would easily disappear after giving birth, and no telling who else, or what else she used that her money could buy.

I can't give these celebrities credit for loosing the baby fat as fast as they do, because they are using money and resources to attain perfection that the average woman does not have.

Also, notice that they ALL come out flawless after giving birth, and JLO is no exception.

i dont think she breast-fed; she said in an interview that she wouldnt and that her mom didnt or some lame bullshit. like she could handle that pain/discomfort.

Looks like she had a tummy tuck with muscle tightening during the c-section delivery. After 4 months most of the swelling would be gone and the scar would be neatly hidden in the bikini line.

yes, and some people also get great results with Retin-A on stretch marks......

I'd be willing to bet most of these celeb women engage in more self discipline than the average woman because of the business they are in. It does not take a team of specialists like chefs, dieticians, personal trainers, etc. to avoid eating junk just because you are pregnant. It doesn't take professional help to get off your butt and move instead of saying 'I just had a baby'..........then one day you realize you 'just had a baby' five years ago.

Jennifer looks great!
As far as stretch marks go...I'm a short, skinny person, my stretch marks go from my bikini line all the way up to my ribs, they are on the sides of my hips and they cover nearly all sides of my breasts.
I lost all of my pregnancy weight almost immediately but had to wait about a year for the skin to tone up again.
IMO stretch marks from pregnancy are not something that should be considered repulsive. They do fade, when I'm tan they are nearly invisible. And I would never ever consider wearing a one piece swimsuit.
I think she has had work done on her stomach, too bad for her if she feels repulsed by her stretch marks. I'm proud of mine, to me it just means that my body was able to support and nourish an infant.

It's all in genetics if she didn't get stretch marks. I gained 70 lbs. (yeah I did) as I was way to thin when I got pregnant & never got any stretch marks. IMO J Lo isn't anything special & plenty of women get their shape back without being showered with praise for it.

Yeah - because she had two people growing in her uterus.

Unless you use pregnancy as an excuse to pig out, most of the weight gain is just in baby, amniotic fluids, placenta, fluid retention, bigger lactating boobs etc. Your uterus alone ends up weighing about a kg! It's an increase in weight, but not an increase in fat.
