#LoveYourLines! Two Moms Tell Women Not to Be Ashamed Of Their Stretch Marks

I’m a mom of 6! Yes, six beautiful babies were housed in my tummy. I have worked hard to get my figure back, but I have never truly embraced the lines left behind after each pregnancy. Oh and that scar? That’s from a cyst removal when I was 18 years old. The doctors thought they might have to remove my left ovary in order to save my life. They didn’t have to, so that scar and those lines, those are what I love. They show that I’m still alive, with 6 beautiful babies.” submission from @ramblingmomof6

I’m a mother of 3… I have learned to love my body, love lines included.” The body of a woman is like none other. Submission by: @MZ_JANAY

I had my beautiful baby boy just shy of three months ago. I am only eighteen and my body before my son was a whole 98lbs. Back at a healthy 109 I feel better and more beautiful than I ever have before. My stretch marks had a major affect on me for a while until I realized there’s something we forget when we try and erase the years and the scars. We forget they are the markers of a life created, of things learned, of love given and received. My son is an amazing gift sent from god, and nothing that happened to my body through pregnancy will change my views on that. Instead I embrace them.
