Model Mom With Six-Pack Proves Healthy Pregnancies Come In Every Size

No two women are exactly alike, so where did everyone get the idea that moms-to-be with bigger baby bumps are healthier than those without…or vice versa?!

An Australian mother-to-be and fitness model has geniusly schooled everyone on what a healthy pregnancy looks like in the Instagram post below that has gone viral.

I was surprised with a cute visit today from a friend Nat who is also expecting 💕 Just being able to see someone in the flesh, rub her tummy, hear how incredible her journey has been so far, how healthy baby is & all the fun talk about kicks, food, names etc was beautiful. This is Nat's 3rd pregnancy so she had a lot of great advice to share ☺️ It's very clear in this photo just how tall I am, I mean my chin sits above Nat's head lol We worked out that we are 4 weeks apart, so our little ones will be the same age, same grade at school and potential best buds hehehehe….. Nat's due start of March & I'm due end of March. Each women carries different and this most certainly doesn't mean one is doing something wrong or not healthy etc. We both have healthy growing babies & we both have had incredible pregnancies so far, feeling amazing & full of energy. #21.5weeks #expecting #march2016 #pregnant #love #happiness #Babyduncan

In the photo below Chontell Duncan and her dear friend Nat pose for the camera, but at first glance, only Nat is obviously pregnant.

However, the two women are not only expecting little ones together — they’re due about 4-5 weeks apart from each other!

Needless to say, the internet had a field day tearing apart the photo of the moms-to-be. While some claim the 6’1 model, who has been extremely active throughout her pregnancy, is too thin to carry a child, others bashed Nat’s gigantic baby bump…but that’s because they’ve missed the entire point of the photo.

Every woman carries differently and both of these pregnancies are completely healthy!

BUMP UPDATE 🍼 37 weeks…. Only 21 days to go 🙈 Well well Little D you have caused quiet a commotion, you are most certainly making your entrance into this world noticeable. But seriously "what a week" 😳 did not expect that, can not believe how many people are apparently doctors, how easily people can slam a pregnant women, but more importantly how INCREDIBLE absolute strangers are. I don't think there are any words that could describe just how humbled I am to see absolute strangers support my lifestyle, pregnancy, my unborn child & give me the respect I think I deserve for putting in the effort to maintain my habits whilst pregnant. For a women to consider falling pregnant is a HUGE decision it's a permanent decision, not just the physical demands, the risk, but you're preparing to sacrifice your very being to be this little persons everything for as long as you live. Then there's conceiving, you couldn't feel more pressure if you tried, it's extremely difficult for so many women, I am extremely grateful I fell first go, but I am close to so many whom have struggled greatly. Now you're pregnant the physical changes, the tests & the realisation that it's happening is prominent. What if you're told at 12 weeks your child is at great risk or what if you miscarry 😕 it's emotionally hectic!!!! You get through all that & you know that from here on out what you feel emotionally the baby will feel, you know what you eat the baby will eat & you know that your physical health will impact the babies as he/she develops within. You make everyday the best so at the end of the journey you can hold your head high I know that you brought this little person up the best possible way you could… You realise that school did NOT set you up to understand child birth or how to prepare for a child, so you walk into this overwhelming world of preparing for parenthood. So much to learn… 😩 BUT wait then there's critics, well in my case a lot of them. They pick and pull you apart, I had ppl at the beginning excited to see me blow out, see me quit at my career because apparently it's not possible to do both… TO CONTINUE READING HIT THE LINK 📲 IN MY BIO (Wearing @aimn.oceania)

Chontell has since shared more recent photos of her bump and revealed that she’s kept up with her kickboxing at 37 weeks into her pregnancy!

Chontell, who is expecting a baby boy with husband Sam at the end of March, is certainly not the first fitness model to come under fire for her slim baby bump recently.

This 30-year-old model made headlines with her slim pregnant physique in 2015, and celebrities are often criticized for their post-baby bodies…no matter how long it takes them to slim down!

Some people say "oh you need to enjoy life too Chontel" 🙄 I get up everyday LOVING my job, happy to see the people who come to my business, LOVE my staff, have no boss, get to work with my husband, get to workout for a living, am always helping others & this is the first time in a long time that I have felt like I have a purpose. I am living… I just do it in a different way.

The important thing to realize is that every woman’s body – and baby – has different needs. There is no perfect pregnant belly, the only thing that matters is that mom is staying healthy, so baby gets everything they need!
