It is no secret and moms today don’t intend it to be either. Gone are the days when pregnant women rued their postpartum body and yearned to get back to their pre-baby shape. Today, women wear their stripes proudly and flaunt it as a mark of what a woman’s body is capable of going through. As moms ourselves we are intimately familiar with how much our body changes during nine months of pregnancy and what we are left with when we hold our baby in our arms. I don’t know about you, but I wear my stripes and stretch marks proudly!
It always helps when women who are always in the limelight or are heralded as models for beauty, fitness and grace come out and speak about what they feel about their postpartum body and these 4Â women have done just that.
We couldn’t agree more with you ladies!

We are all familiar with the fat shaming that Aishwarya Bachchan had to endure during the first trip to Cannes after Aaradhya was born. But Aishwarya — Miss World, face for so many brands, and acclaimed actress known at home and abroad, came out and simply said it like it is.
“I’ve always been a person who’s been extremely comfortable in my own skin. If I wanted to get in super sexy, slim or whatever the adages are, it is so easy today! You can get that done instantly and please, we are from showbiz… we know everyone in the business! Weight gain, especially post-pregnancy, is a natural process depending on metabolism and if it does happen, IT’S FINE! It’s not who you are on the outside that matters”

Carol Gracias
Who can forget gorgeous model Carol Gracias walking the ramp while flaunting her baby bump? A complete definition of beauty and grace Carol took to a leading news agency and wrote about what made her walk the ramp while pregnant and also what it meant for her to be breaking the high standards set by the fashion industry and shattering stereotypes that models have to live with daily.
“I am not a spokesperson for pregnant women, we all have different lives and issues. But if just walking the ramp with my baby bump can help women realize that our swollen bellies, feet and breasts are not just a thing to suffer through, these are things that make us beautiful, as long as we let ourselves feel that way, that is welcome.”
