In our continuing desire to make you happy and keep you calm, we offer the following things that you are now officially allowed to stop worrying about.

Stretch Marks
Forget about slathering cocoa butter onto your pregnant belly, breasts and butt. A new study by the American University of Beirut found that 45 percent of pregnant women who used cocoa butter still developed stretch marks, a percentage almost identical to those who used a placebo cream. Stretch marks are scars caused by rapid growth or weight gain that overwhelms the skin's elasticity. What ultimately determines whether your belly will look like a Rand McNally roadmap? Genes. (We're lookin' at you, Laila Ali.) And how much weight you gain during pregnancy. So go ahead, keep blaming your mother. And Ben. And Jerry, too.
