Just three weeks ago, Emily admitted that her pregnancy wasn’t really “going to plan” in terms of her fitness goals.
“I thought I’d be able to keep up with my exercise until the end of my pregnancy but that did NOT happen,” she wrote.
“I just want you ladies to know that gaining weight while pregnant is NORMAL – some people only gain a little and some gain a lot but it’s all ‘normal’.”
Speaking to Mamamia, she said her pregnancy experience turned out differently than she expected.
“I thought I’d be one of those mums that could walk along the beach every day… but even with my back belt I can’t be on my feet for too long,” she said.
“I did expect to gain weight. To be honest I didn’t expect to gain as much as I have, but I’m fine with it. I just think obviously my body is doing what it’s supposed to do, it’s supporting a life.
“You just can’t compare yourself to other people. Be happy for them and be inspired, but you definitely can’t compare, it only makes you feel bad.”
