PREGNANT Gemma Atkinson has returned to the gym after suffering with morning sickness.

But she insisted she wouldn’t be putting so much pressure on herself and admitted she’s been enjoying a bread binge or two.
She told fans: “I'm back training tomorrow. Loads of you have messaged me asking since I've been pregnant am I still training and the answer is yes.
“Obviously I'm not doing the same kind of workouts as I was doing because you have to adjust and every pregnancy is different. The first few weeks I didn't really do anything because I didn't feel very well and I've just listened to my body.
"I've started yoga which I'm really enjoying. The main thing is my food, I've wanted to eat more nutritious stuff than before because I'm just aware that it ain't just about me anymore. I'm just a kind of carrier for this little being and I need to keep healthy.”

Discussing her cravings, she continued: “I am liking the bread at the minute, I'm eating a lot of bread. It's tough though, I take my hat off to women who have done this more than once because it's really hard at times but I am loving it.'
"Some days I'm like green juice and training and then others, mostly these days, where I've been sick in the morning I'm like 'Gorka go get me some pasta, tiger bread, smother it in Lurpak, leave me on the couch, don't even look at me.'
“It's surprising how something so small can make you so poorly!”
