'My baby's healthy': blogger defends six-pack bump

Since announcing her pregnancy last month, fitness blogger

has been fielding loads of backlash.

It’s not something the 33-year-old really needs on top of already being a mum of one and managing her busy job and her changing body. So why all the hate?

Well, the answer lies in her Instagram profile.

Sarah sent her followers into meltdown when she posted photos of herself at six months pregnant with a pretty much non-existent bump.

Instead, what’s clearly in view are her extremely sculpted abs.

“She's obviously not 6 months pregnant and is having a surrogate mother to have her child for her,” one person commented on her snap.

“No bump. Fake news,” said another, while a third wrote, “Is the child underdeveloped or a damn jelly bean cause her stomach makes no sense?”

Sarah, who has since revealed she’s having another baby boy, responded to the hate saying, “[My baby is] healthy and measuring just fine”.

"I would think that after having James [her first son], who was born almost four kilograms and healthy, people would be more understanding during this pregnancy and keep their ignorant comments to themselves.”

This is the second baby for the LA model and her partner so she must be feeling an odd sense of deja vu.

In 2015, Sarah also had to defend her toned physique against critics who claimed she was putting her baby at risk.

"I think that is so rude. My baby is healthy and we are happy," she told GoodMorning America at the time.

And indeed James was born healthy, at 8lbs 7oz, and is now a happy, healthy two-year-old.

It goes to show that every pregnant body is different!
