Model Ashley Graham proudly shows off postpartum body in underwear selfie three weeks after baby’s birth
NEW mom Ashley Graham has given fans a look at her postpartum figure as she opened up about how she has found the first few weeks of motherhood.
Taking to Instagram, the swimwear designer shared a bathroom selfie of herself wearing disposable underwear.
Ashley, 32, used the image as a chance to get real about the changes she’s experienced
She wrote: “Raise your hand if you didn’t know you’d be changing your own diapers too🙋🏻♀️
“After all these years in fashion I never could’ve guessed that disposable underwear would be my favorite piece of clothing but here we are!”
Delving further into the realities of postpartum life, she continued: “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!”
Ashley then added: “It’s been tough, but my friend Chelsea @cmrh and ceo at @fridamom is making waves and starting honest conversations.
“It’s unbelievable the obstacles we still face talking about what women really go through. All their stuff she sent me has been a life saver.”
Some famous names jumped in her comments to praise the star for her honesty as singer Natasha Bedingfield wrote: “Was so surprised all the stuff I wasn’t told ahead of time.”
While Bumble CEO Whitney Herd commented: “I love this post and thank you for sharing , makes all of us postpartum mamas feel not so totally alone.”
The model won over fans with her candid posts about her first time pregnancy so it’s no surprise she’s doing more of the same now she’s the doting mom to her first child.
Ashley and her husband famously met in church shortly after she started her impactful modelling career.
That career has been going strong ever since, and unlike most models, Ashley has been hard at work throughout her pregnancy.
In fact, she managed to score the most coveted gig in the industry during her pregnancy when she posed for a solo Vogue cover.
