Yes it is an open forum. But everyone gets ragged on for dumb questions. Even I have been ragged on a few times. Why? Because the time it took you to write your question you could have easily found it with 1 Google search. Most people here are here to give advice to people after they've done their research. Because after you know the basics every body is different and you'll want to see how other people's experiences have been so you can get an idea of what to expect. But stretch marks, come on man. That's like me asking why shit comes out of my ass after I eat.
