I have a baby just under 3 months which obviously came with a few stretchmarks but ever since working out my calfs have been achey due to exercising i've noticed the start of stretchmarks on the one and my muscles seem awfully hard and tense in them..

Could it be due to increase in muscle that's caused them?

    Hard/tense muscles just need stretching. Try foam rolling, it works awesome.

    Your muscle takes up less space than fat and doesn't appear quickly enough to cause stretch marks normally, so it's more likely you just never noticed them before. I have faint stretch marks on my calves from when I was growing as a kid.
