Last Saturday, blogger Rachel Hollis posted a vacation selfie. In the photo, Rachel—who’s mom to three kids and completed a marathon a couple weeks back—is vibrant. Check it out:

Rachel’s Facebook post has now gotten more than 403,000 likes and 13,000 comments. We assume you’re with us when we say we totally get why it went viral. Standing ovation for Rachel!

Her post got us thinking: Tons of our readers are also mothers with amazing body confidence. So we put a callout on our Facebook and Instagram accounts asking for mamas with #WHBikiniPride to share their pics. Behold the stunningness:
 

“Between kids, I went to Mexico and wore a two-piece. It’s about being comfortable in your own skin and loving yourself—whether you’re skinny, chubby, muscled, or whatever. Every body should be appreciated. Every body has its story.” —Ashley Audrey
 

“This body of mine pushed out seven babies, including one set of twins. I’ll take my body’s marks and imperfections just as they are…proof of carrying and pushing out my darlings.” —Missy Reiff
