Her inspiring photos and words are helping other women remember that they’re not the only ones with stretch marks—far from it, in fact. As one commenter notes, “Sometimes we as women need a little reminder that we are not alone and that we are still beautiful.”

Another thanks her for sharing the photo, saying, “I have almost identical stretch marks as you and seeing this post has made me feel better about myself and my stretch marks.”

In another post showcasing her marks, she urges people to stop body shaming.

The love of my life. We give up our bodies to create our children, our bodies change and gain perfect imperfections that we should be celebrating not shaming. Women are amazingly powerful creatures stop the body shaming. #lovemymombod #postpartumqueen

Her message has been growing in popularity among celebs and regular women. Chrissy Teigen has talked openly about how her body changed after giving birth to daughter Luna and regularly shares pictures of her stretch marks on social media. We also loved this mom’s amazingly powerful post about how she explained her stretch marks to her daughter as “glitter stripes.” Another win for body positivity!
