I found a blog called The Shape of a Mother with this message:
Here is one example from the hundreds of posts submitted to this site.
(Note: There is some nudity)
It shows a mother's belly during and after her pregnancy with triplets.
Triplet Belly:
This is a time line of my belly from 7 weeks through 36 weeks.
3 months postpartum, and my babies at 6 weeks old.
I gave birth, at home, to my three beautiful babies at 37 weeks.
Though this pregnancy changed by body forever, I loved every minute of it!
Being a mom of triplets, and my great 2 1/2 year-old, is the best thing that's ever happened to me!!
We women are amazing individuals,
and so are our bodies;
bodies given to us by our creator
who loves us no matter what skin we're in...
It occurred to me that a post-pregnancy body is one of this society's greatest secrets. All we see of the female body is that which is airbrushed and perfect; and if we look any different, we hide it from the light of day in fear of being seen. It is my dream to make this website where women of all ages, shapes, sizes. and nationalities can share images of their bodies so it will no longer be secret, so we can finally see what women really look like sans airbrushes and plastic surgery. I think it would be nothing short of amazing if a few of our hearts are healed, or if we begin to cherish our new bodies, which have done so much for the human race. What if the next generation grows up knowing how normal our bodies are... How truly awesome would that be!!
We all need to learn to love the skin we're in...Here is one example from the hundreds of posts submitted to this site.

I love this entry. I think those stretch marks are like battle wounds. Men show theirs off to prove their bravery under fire; women hide theirs. Maybe we are just more modest. I promise I won't start wearing belly shirts anytime soon!
i didn't know you had triplets! you are amazing and your babies are beautiful!
Brittany - I'm so glad to say that isn't me in those pictures! It was somebody else who shared the triplet experience on that website. I just borrowed her pictures to make a point. But, thanks for the nice compliment anyway...
