A MODEL has come under fire yet again over her pregnancy after she posted a photo in a bikini, but fans questioned where her six-month bump is.
Belle Lucia, originally from Sydney, Australia, shared a snap of herself taking a dip at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London.
The 24-year-old modelled a sizzling black £35 two-piece from The Couture Club – showing off her enviable flat stomach – despite entering her third trimester.
She captioned the image, which she shared with her 1.3 million followers on Instagram: “Since becoming pregnant all I’ve wanted to do is swim.
“Just slightly difficult living in London as I can’t quickly jump into the ocean like I did back in Australia.”
Her post has racked up hundreds of comments, with fans in disbelief that the model is six-months-pregnant.
People have questioned how she can still be rocking a toned stomach this far gone, while others claimed she looked better pregnant than they did on an average day.
One person commented: “She’s 6 months pregnant and I look more pregnant and I’m not even pregnant.”
Someone else wrote: “How is this a 6 months pregnant stomach if only everyone was like that.”
A third asked: “Are you pregnant in this photo?”
Someone else questioned: “I’m so confused are you actually pregnant?”
Another person said: “She’s 6 MONTHS PREGNANT.
“If I look like this 6 months gone, I’ll never stop having babies!!”
And somebody else added: “If only I looked like this normally let alone six months pregnant. Incredible.”
It’s not the first time Belle’s bump has been questioned, as the model claims she was forced to delete her ultrasound post as people were being “creepy and rude”.
Her baby bump was branded ‘tiny’, but Belle hit out at her haters.
Posting on her Instagram story, she wrote: “As you can see, women show very differently but are all carrying a little life.
“Just because I’m not showing as much as you like doesn’t mean my pregnancy is ‘unhealthy’ or that I’m promoting a ‘skinny’ pregnancy.
“It’s just my body and I can’t help it if it doesn’t look the same as other women.
“Body shaming is not okay no matter how ‘big’ or ‘small’ someone is.”
And she also shared the “side she never shows”, after uploading a video of herself experiencing morning sickness.
Belle wrote: “Just so you know pregnancy isn’t all daisies and roses, currently locked in a train bathroom violently throwing up.”
Sharing her pregnancy journey with her fans, Belle wrote: “I did experience morning sickness, breast pain and definitely a lot of anxiety on the beginning because of the fear of miscarriage – I had no idea how common they were.
“But I’ve learnt to embrace everything – both the downs and the ups.”
