Pregnant Gemma Atkinson on daughter’s reaction to bump
Gemma wrote: “When we told Mia she was going to be a sister she said, ‘Is that why your belly is a bit like Daddy pigs?’ It did make me laugh, and I’m excited to see the changes take place again and show Mia proudly what her mum’s body is doing.”
Gorka and Gemma welcomed Mia in July 2019.
Commenting under her post, many of Gemma‘s followers felt inspired by her exercise video.
One person said: “So good to hear you are adjusting your workouts safely and effectively and focusing on pelvic floor and deep core engagement. That’s so key and great to see you spreading the word on that!”
A second wrote: “‘To show Mia proudly what her Mum’s body is doing.’ This is what more young girls need to enable them to grow up loving their bodies! Yes Mumma!!”
“I just want to say your explanation of training and body changes is so clear, informative and (body)positive! Wishing you a great pregnancy,” another added.
It’s mad how many people think you can’t work out while pregnant. It helps.
Gemma informed fans that she was given permission by her doctor and midwife to continue training. She went on to ask her followers to do the same before working out.
