Pregnancy is such a special time for every woman, and what our bodies go through to bring life into this world is nothing short of pure magic.

In the past few years, there has been plenty of conversation about what society deems a “healthy” body, and what is healthy and normal during pregnancy. Helping to shift the perspective, the plus-size women in these photos and the many who came before them have served to normalize all types of pregnant bodies.

There’s no doubt about it – these women are stunning. Their glow radiates from the screen, and we can’t help but be inspired by how they’re choosing to celebrate their bodies and their pregnancies through powerful words and photography.
