Ashley Graham Is Breaking All The Rules By Showing Off Her Post-Labour Stretch Marks

In January this year, the plus-size model Ashley Graham and her partner Justin Ervin welcomed their first child to the world, a little boy named Isaac. Since giving birth, Ashley Graham has continued to share content on Instagram in order to shed some light on and demystify the preconceptions that exist about breastfeeding.

On Monday 17th February, the model also posted a photo of herself naked, showing off her round belly and post-labour stretch marks. In the caption of this photo, she wrote: ‘same me, few new stories.’

This photo got a lot of attention on social media and was liked more than 1.2 million times in just 13 hours. Several internet users took this opportunity to congratulate and praise the young woman for this brave and irreproachable photo.

‘You are a work of art’, ‘The story of life’ and ‘So beautiful’ are just some of the comments that were left by her fans.

Four days ago, Ashley Graham didn’t hesitate to post a photo of herself in a café in which we can see her breastfeeding her little boy. This natural photo was liked more than 1.5 million times. On Tuesday 11th February, the plus-size model even posted a photo of herself wearing ‘a diaper’ with the following caption:

‘Raise your hand if you didn’t know you’d be changing your own diapers too. After all these years in fashion, I never could’ve guessed that disposable underwear would be my favourite piece of clothing but here we are!’

Ashley Graham, Queen of the body positive movement?

For years now, Ashley Graham has been a really big name when it comes to self-acceptance and body positivity. The plus-size model is constantly sharing powerful and inspiring messages on social media about self-confidence and accepting your body as it is. She shares nude photos, sometimes showing off her cellulite, stretch marks and bravely posts other photos without a scrap of make-up on her face.

In an Instagram post she shared on 13th November last year, she even revealed just how much weight she had gained over the course of her pregnancy.

‘Throughout my pregnancy so far I’ve gained 50lbs. And the best part is, I don’t care! I have never felt better and I am so thankful that my body and son have allowed me to be as mobile and flexible as I have been.’

An inspiring and reassuring message that we all need to remember in our lives. Accept yourself for who you are!
