Ashley Graham wants to help women embrace their pregnant bodies — stretch marks and all

Ashley Graham announced her pregnancy on Instagram in mid-August with a gorgeous, posed photo of herself showcasing her baby bump in a body-con dress hugging her every curve. She was met with messages of congratulations and comments referencing her “sexy belly.” And just three days later, she took social media by storm when she posted another photo displaying her new journey to motherhood, which was a close-up of that same belly, unedited with stretch marks and all.
