Meggan Grubb has revealed her bump to fans with her first pregnancy body update.
The fitness and lifestyle blogger announced she was expecting her first child with husband and fellow influencer Niall Kirkland in January with a series of tear-jerking posts.
Fast forward a few weeks, and alongside sharing adorable snaps of her 20-week scan, the body positivity ambassador has given her 1.3m followers an insight into what changes she has experienced so far on her pregnancy journey.
Writing on Instagram, she said: “Thinking I might start doing these regularly as a little diary update of thoughts and feelings through pregnancy every so often on here! I still can’t believe I’m halfway like waaa in 4 months’ time I’ll be watching Niall do the leaving the hospital walk with our little baby in hand. Honestly, I think about seeing Niall with them every single day, it’s definitely one of my most looking forward-to moments. Seeing him be a dad, seeing him meet them for the first time.”
She added: “Also finally feel like I’ve bypassed the ‘I just look bloated & bleh’ stage and actually have a bump on the go too, it was strange navigating how I felt about my body when it wasn’t really showing much but it also felt different than usual at the same time.
“You almost feel like your pregnancy is a lie I found, like how was a baby 4-5 months gone in there haha, like I mentioned on my YouTube the other day, comparing how many weeks you are to other women at the same point and how big or small their bump is at that stage compared to yours worried me sometimes that something was wrong and I realised that was prob the worst thing to do.
“Every woman’s pregnancy is SO different and different things happen at different times for everyone. I hope if you have any of those thoughts this gives you some peace of mind.
“I know people don’t mean harm by saying it but it can make you feel quite anxious when someone says to you something like ‘that’s what I look like after a meal’, you worry something might be wrong with the baby because you worry about everything anyway.
“Anyway, the boobs are ever-growing the waist has thickened and the bump has very slowly started to pop and I love it!”
Meggan, who is known for her booty-growing workouts and pioneering the BEYOND fitness app, said training is getting more tiring, but she’s determined to keep on pushing through.
“I can’t stop eating strawberries and the BABY KICKS omg the kicks are the most incredible feeling ever,” she continued.
“I could write a whole caption on it and I probably will at some point, but wow I feel so grateful and lucky to have this lil bub kicking away inside, never alone, always with me all day every day. Love it.”
