It's not a priority for the star

Gemma Atkinson has revealed her frustration after being asked when she plans to lose her baby weight – and she hasn’t even given birth yet!

The heavily pregnant star took to Instagram to air her thoughts with fans, after people questioned her weight.

The 34-year-old has been open about her acceptance of her changing body during pregnancy, so she wasn’t too impressed by the probing question.

Gemma ranted that losing weight is the last thing on her mind as she prepares to be a mum for the first time.

She wrote on her Instagram Story: “(I’ve) been asked twice today what weight I want to ‘get down to’ after baby is born.

“Firstly, it’s the last thing on my mind.”

The actress then added a cheeky comment about exactly what kind of weight she would like on her…

She continued: “My ideal weight is Jason Momoa on top of me. Ha ha ha.”

She posted a snap of the Aquaman actor alongside her funny message.

Gemma has stressed the importance of not feeling pressure to bounce back after giving birth. And the fitness-loving star has adapted her workouts to her pregnancy.

She recently told fans on Instagram: “I’m around 82kg at the moment (I usually sit comfortably at 70kg) so I’m carrying way more weight then usual for me. Hence body weight exercises being enough for the time being.

“I always sleep brilliantly after Pilates and I feel Great too. Baby rocks to sleep during every session which I find so cute.”

Since I posted the videos of me training during pregnancy I’ve had lots of messages from pregnant ladies saying “I wish I had the energy” or “i look massive and I’m only so many weeks” or “all I want to do is eat and sleep” The last thing I want is for any woman to not feel like they are doing ok. So today, I wanted to share one of the days when I’m NOT doing my training and NOT having my green juice and NOT doing my meditating because I do have those days as well. Y’day my day started at 4am and finished at 8pm. I was so exhausted I felt sick. I know there’s millions of woman who have been pregnant before me & there will be millions more after me and from that what I know is that EVERY pregnancy is different. Today I didn’t shower, I came home from work, I put my trackies on, I lay with the dogs and for my tea I’ve ordered this large pizza just for me! I’m basically a sloth 😂 Some days I feel like that and that’s because I’m growing a human (even when I wasn’t pregnant I had those days) There’s always someone saying “wait until baby comes, then you’ll be tired” etc etc… YES I know. My sister has 3 children and I’m fully aware of how hard it can be. That doesn’t mean I’m not entitled to a lazy day now and then before my baby arrives. If today like myself you’ve also been a sloth, don’t beat yourself up. I try to make sure that my good eating & training days outweigh my sloth days and as long as I’m happy and healthy and my baby is the same, that’s all that matters. Pregnant or not, hang in there you’re doing ace ❤️🤰💪🏼
