No, no, it was on the first page. And no, they aren't hereditary. I mean, if your mom got them then, yeah there is a chance that the elasticity in your skin is like your mother's as you are her blood and whatnot, but they aren't really considered hereditary. Lots of people get stretch marks when their mothers didn't and lots of people don't get them when their mother's did. It all has to do with the proteins in your skin tearing. It isn't like male pattern baldness or anything like that.

Does it say it is hereditary in there? That is funny. I mean, I could be wrong. It may be considered hereditary, but in my anatomy and physiology book it says that "contrary to popular belief 'stretch marks' aren't hereditary" maybe they are the ones who suck, I dunno.
All I know is my mother never got a single stretchmark with three kids, and I (who have never been pregnant) already have them on my boobs and butt just from fluctuation five or ten pounds. Grrrr.
