Having children is rewarding and amazing and beautiful.
But it is also so flippin' tiring.
The toll that pregnancy and childbirth take on our bodies is worth all the pain and changes but we think we should celebrate them more - especially in a world that tells us constantly that looking like you never had a baby is key.
Now, Instagram user, Alexandra Kilmurray, has dedicated her social media pages to showing off her post-partum body in all the glory it deserves.
Alexandra shares photos of her stretchmarks and the rest of her body after having two children and the results are very powerful.
One recent post explained:
"This was my belly 8 weeks postpartum with my first son. Just going through some old pictures of my pregnancies and births. Carrying two babies over 9lbs back to back was tough. I am still recovering 6 months after my second son! Cheers to mummy tummy's
Her brave uploads show that all bodies are to be celebrated, no matter what shape, size or texture - but instead for their strength and ability to carry life.
