This comes days after former glamour model Gemma shared an honest pregnancy update with her 984,000 followers, as she snapped a selfie munching on a huge pizza.
The caption read: ‘Since I posted the videos of me training during pregnancy I’ve had lots of messages from pregnant ladies saying “I wish I had the energy” or “I look massive and I’m only so many weeks” or “all I want to do is eat and sleep”
‘The last thing I want is for any woman to not feel like they are doing ok. So today, I wanted to share one of the days when I’m NOT doing my training and NOT having my green juice and NOT doing my meditating because I do have those days as well.’
Continuing the candid message, Gem insisted she too has down days, adding: ‘Today I didn’t shower, I came home from work, I put my trackies on, I lay with the dogs and for my tea I’ve ordered this large pizza just for me! I’m basically a sloth ? Some days I feel like that and that’s because I’m growing a human (even when I wasn’t pregnant I had those days).’
Rounding off the inspiring announcement, she finally penned: ‘As long as I’m happy and healthy and my baby is the same, that’s all that matters. Pregnant or not, hang in there you’re doing ace ❤️???.’
