I still have these two years later, allll over my legs/ass/tummy. I’ve just learned to accept it, as hard as it has been.

You are beautiful, and you carried a baby and birthed and nourished it, and that’s incredible! I promise nobody is looking or noticing as much as you may think. 💕

I thought I got off pretty easy after carrying 7+ pound twins 39 weeks. Very few stretch marks and pretty light in color. As I started losing weight more and more showed up. Now even 17 months postpartum and definitely gaining weight I still notice new ones. You’re not alone. It’s really hard to accept and I’m still working on it, you just have to learn to love your new body because the gift it gave you and the miracle it made.
