Khloe Kardashian is pregnant.
Everybody knows this.
And as of this weekend, everybody found that the mum-to-be hasn’t got any stretch marks yet.
Good for her.
Khloe took to Twitter to break the news to her 25 million followers.
She wrote:
So far no stretch marks. So I'm happy about that 🤞🏽 the perks of being chubby previously. Lol my tummy knows how to stretch
— Khloé (@khloekardashian) January 26, 2018
Essentially, what this tweet is is an update on Khloe’s body.
She’s not saying that stretch marks are good or bad – she’s just saying that she doesn’t have them yet and that her tummy “knows how to stretch.”
Good for it.
Khloe’s tweet was met with a lot of responses from mums who told her that stretch marks may still appear later in the pregnancy, and even after it too.
Wait what! After pregnancy I can get stretch marks? Where on my boobs? This is craziness to me
— Khloé (@khloekardashian) January 26, 2018
However, some people weren’t all that delighted with Khloe’s announcement.
One Twitter user who goes by the name of ‘ASideOfCrunchy’ added that she thought that stretch marks were “the tiger stripes you earn as a mom” and that the reality TV star should “embrace” her pregnancy.
Stretch marks are tiger stripes you earn as a mom. I wish celebrities would embrace pregnancy ? and not worry about their body image. Do you want to see what a real body of a mother of four looks like?

Khloe, however, wasn’t all that impressed with being told that she didn’t have a “real” body.
She replied:
Which I agree but every post is oh the stretch mark or the cellulite and all of that comes with pregnancy. Once your not pregnant you will think back on those moments and wish to have them back.
— Crunchy Wishes (@crunchywishes) January 26, 2018
The conversation continued on this way for a while, with other users weighing in on the debate.
Eventually, ASideOfCrunchy confirmed what she meant by her post, saying that “it has nothing to do with her size or body.”
She wrote:
“It has to do with the fact that women and girls look up to her and when they see her saying things about stretch marks it makes you think you shouldn’t have them.”
Some other people simply shared some photos of themselves with their own stretch marks to show that they were beautiful with or without.

Embrace what pregnancy is doing to your body. You have wanted this for so long and we’ve all been behind you 💯 your body is not yours at the moment it’s a home/food/shelter for the little one growing inside of you and that should be reward enough. 🤰🏼💙💖

At the end of the day, Khloe didn’t dwell too much on the comments anyway.
Don't mind me… just growing a human over here!! Still, I almost can't believe it. I know im a nerd but im just so excited 💜💕💜
