In panties in front of the mirror in her bathroom, Ashley Graham strikes a pose.
In a triptych of photos shared on her Instagram account, the top with 17 million subscribers reveals this Sunday, April 24, the reality of postpartum.
The left arm armed with the phone and the other hiding her breasts, she reveals her still very round belly and the stretch marks that cover it.
These marks are those left by her delivery, three months earlier, of her twins Malachi and Roman, born on January 7.

"Hi, New Belly"
With these pictures, the model and undisputed ambassador of the body positive movement intends to shed light on childbirth and its consequences.
According to her, these body changes are normal and should not be stigmatized.
“Hi, new belly.
We have been through a lot.
Thank you.
#3moispostpartum”, she wrote in the caption.
In the comments, many users of the social network welcomed this gesture.
"It's always so refreshing to see women's bodies in their raw state, without filters and in all their glory," testifies a surfer.
“The lives that you have created, carried and pushed into this world are incredible,” assures another.
“This belly has the most beautiful and healthiest stories to tell”, summarizes a subscriber.

Maternity soap opera
This isn't the first time Ashley Graham has shown off her body transformations on Instagram.
In early December, the plus-size model posted a photo of her belly marbling with streaks, referring in her caption to her hubby: "Justin says my stretch marks look like the tree of life."
After giving birth, the American also published pictures of her daily life as a mother on March 22.
We see her express her milk, breastfeed one of her infants or even show a stain of rising milk on her gray garment.
There is no doubt that motherhood no longer has any taboos for her.
And that's good.
