Why not just do a pregnancy test?

If you have gained weight then that could be why you are getting stretch marks. I got stretch marks on my stomach 8 years ago, but I have never had a child.

Stretch marks show up after a rapid growth spurt on some people, male or female - you don't have to be pregnant and some women don't get stretch marks during pregnancy. It all depends on how elastic your skin is.

Men get them too.
