A YOUNG MOTHER of four is going viral after sharing a picture of her ‘mummy tummy’ to help other mums accept their bodies post-pregnancy.
Kimberly Henderson, a musician from South Carolina, said she struggled for a long time to accept the loose skin and stretch marks on her belly:

“I used to have a six pack before my babies, and now even though I work out it’s not going to make my loose skin tight or my strech marks disappear,” she said.
“I’m OK with that because every day I get to wake up to four beautiful smiling faces and I’m reminded that they’re worth these stretch marks.”
Henderson’s post has amassed thousands of likes and shares on Facebook, and women have joined her in sharing their own body woes post-pregnancy.
The musician has said that the response to her photo has been “inspiring”, but is quick to point out that she doesn’t want to “discredit” mothers who have six packs.
“All I was saying is that it IS sexy to be confident in your skin. Be proud of the body you carried your beautiful babies in,” she said.
Yep. This is definitely the most embarrassing mammy move ever>
The internet is seriously impressed with this guy’s ‘dad skills’>
