Mom Celebrates the Beauty of Postpartum Stretch Marks in a Powerful Message

Nothing reveals the wonder of the human body quite like childbirth, and one woman perfectly captured that power in a heartfelt message about postpartum stretch marks. Abigail Wedlake took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of herself and her little one, writing, "A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn. One for every time you sucked your thumb and slept in perfect darkness. One for every dream you dreamt." She added, "It was your home and where I grew to love you. I've earned my stripes and am embracing them more and more everyday." Her words are a refreshing reminder to celebrate postpartum bodies because, as she thoughtfully put it, they show the "beauty of being given the chance to bring life into this world."
