Ashley Graham Embraces Post-Baby Stretch Marks In Beautiful Instagram Pic
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Ashley Graham wasn’t shy about sharing the ups and downs of her pregnancy last year: The model, who gave birth to son Isaac Menelik Giovanni Ervin in January, wrote candidly about her pregnancy weight and learning to accept the changes in her body. “You look beautiful to me.” “So many years I was ashamed of my stretch marks and ‘baby pouch belly,’” one mom who follows the model wrote. That insecurity was the exact reason she decided to post her first naked pregnancy photo, the model said on her digital series, “Fearless with Ashley Graham.” “I had just announced that I was pregnant and I thought then I was going to feel good and I didn’t. In the final stretch of her pregnancy, the model shared a photo of herself posing in yoga class and wrote that she’d gained 50 pounds in her pregnancy so far — and noted that “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,” Graham added.
