The diary of a pregnant model

For most women, being eight months pregnant is a free pass to lie on the couch and eat whatever you like, but one woman has been sharing her journey with lingerie pics and gym selfies.

American model Sarah Stage, 31, has attracted an Instagram following of 1.1 million by posting shots that takes pregnancy-inspo to a whole new level.

Currently eight month’s pregnant, the expectant mother has not stopped working, featuring in lingerie shoots and maintaining her regular gym routine.

How has she stayed in shape through her pregnancy? Speaking to News Limited, she said her regimen consisted of “light prenatal training” that focuses on her arms and legs, along with a healthy meal delivery service of brown rice, veggies and protein like chicken and steak.

Some of her followers are incredulous. “Completely hard to believe but maybe with the proper diet and exercise it’s possible?” wrote one, while another speculated, “Her baby is gunna be underweight.”

But according to Stage, there’s no cause for alarm. “These days it’s seems like everyone has something to say, especially on social media. Most are very positive and I try to ignore any negative comments. My doctor says the baby is healthy and that’s all that matters to us.”
