Stretch marks. I've never really understood them. Before getting pregnant, I basically never had any. Then, at some point a few months in, I realised my boobs were covered in them. They've got more red and angry-looking now I'm breastfeeding too...

Then yesterday, I noticed a small cluster just above my right hip. Not on the opposite side as well, just the one side. Why on earth there, when my stomach has grown the most, shrunk the most rapidly, and has zero stretch marks on it?? Tiger stripes move in mysterious ways.

Crossing fingers if I keep massaging oil into them, they'll calm down eventually 😎
