On International Women's Day, and to celebrate herself as well as her fellow women, Ashley Graham took to Instagram to share a powerful photo of herself giving birth, and it was the ultimate IWD mic-drop!
Since the moment she appeared on the scene, people have fallen in love with her for a ton of reasons.
And no, it's not just because she's stunning.
She is always encouraging self-love!
"Every day, if you tell yourself 'I love you,' if you give yourself one word of validation, it will change your mind."
"It’s about being self-assured about your size and also just loving your body."
And now, she's getting super real about motherhood.
And since then she has kept it real with her fans — the same way she always has.
"Throughout my pregnancy so far I’ve gained 50lbs," she wrote on Instagram a month before her son was born. "And the best part is, I don’t care!"
"Between working out, yoga, acupuncture and lymphatic massages - I finally feel like I figured out this whole pregnancy thing and how to feel my best," she concluded.
"At 6:00PM on 01/18/2020, we welcomed 7lbs 5oz of love into our world," she wrote.
After the birth of her son, she even opened up about having to wear diapers.
"Raise your hand if you didn’t know you’d be changing your own diapers too🙋🏻♀️," she wrote on Instagram.
"No one talks about the recovery and healing (yes even the messy parts) new moms go through. I wanted to show you guys that it’s not all rainbows and butterflies!"
Speaking of diaper changes, just a couple of weeks ago, Ashley shared a photo of herself changing her son's diaper in the middle of a shopping aisle.
"First diaper blow up while running errands with no restroom in sight! Thank God I remembered to put the changing mat in the diaper bag!!!"
Something that I'm sure anyone who has ever given birth could appreciate!
"The greatest pain I’ve ever known and the greatest accomplishment that I’ve ever achieved," she continued.
"On this International Women’s Day understand that despite whatever pain or trial we have all experienced as women," she said.
She wrapped things up by wishing all the ladies out there a happy International Women's Day — encouraging women to support each other.
And this just confirms exactly why we love Ashley Graham so much!
