"My boobs, bum, legs and belly have doubled in size.
"Not all clothes fit and the majority certainly aren’t comfortable. My cellulite has doubled. My co ordination, balance and even memory are a little off.

The fitness enthusiast said she's proud of her baby body and is choosing to be positive.
"My options in all of the above are to spend the 9 months dwelling about not feeling or looking like myself OR show up regardless. As I am" Gemma continued.
"Get s*** done run our home, work and be present for Mia bumping along each day at a time.
"For me, nothing has taught me adaptability like pregnancy has. Or resilience actually.
"It’s by far the toughest workout I’ve ever done.
"I know for all mums to be that at times it’s hard. Physically and emotionally.
"BUT I’m a massive believer in that I am in control of how I approach things! I’m also conscious of the fact that for now, me and my baby are one.
"He feels what I feel so I’m reluctant to let in the negative energies.
"For this blessing of growing my son, I’m choosing to go ALL IN. Positively."
