Stretch Mark, Oy :(

Is there anyone here who can explain this for me:

I will admit, I've eaten more in the last two weeks than I ever have but I haven't gained a pound ( I weighed myself this morning). I have a small stature to begin with and people are always commenting on my weight.

Now riddle me this, folks, riddle me this: I woke up to find the beginnings of 5 very thick and very dark stretch marks on one of my boobs!!! HOW HOWWWWWW????? Is my body drawing up fat from my thighs and butt and dumping it into my boobs? I can understand having a bloated/bigger tummy because it's just a giant ball of gas but there is no gas in my boobs. What is it? If I haven't gained a pound how do I have stretch marks?

Also - if I'm already getting stretch marks and I haven't gained any weight - WTF am I going to do 30 pounds from now?

    My boobs were the only place I got them until the end of the 3rd trimester last time... they grow a LOT during pregnancy! Get used to seeing them, lady- they won't be going away any time soon! :)

    ETA and for reference, when I say they grew a lot - I went from a 34C prepregnancy to I think a 36F after DD was born.  That went down a bit as my supply changed but yeah... that kind of change leaves its marks.  If you're struggling with seeing stuff like that, I highly recommend following @4thtribodies on Instagram for body positivity inspiration!

    Honestly, I've had stretch marks since the 5th grade. They fade.
