8 months pregnant and a flat stomach?

8 months pregnant and a flat stomach?

A month ago, model Sarah Stage announced her pregnancy. We have seen the photos often in recent weeks. At 8 months pregnant, Sarah has a tighter stomach than most of us and therefore gets a lot of criticism.

Is she fat enough?
People are wondering if her belly is big enough for the number of weeks she's pregnant. Does Sarah not exercise too much and does not endanger her baby?

Strong abs
In the meantime, several experts have had their say. Every pregnant woman has different body shapes and in some women a pregnancy is simply less visible. With a first baby, your muscles are still strong, so your belly stretches less quickly than with subsequent pregnancies. These are all factors that play a role.

Listen to your body
Other experts point out that Sarah was much slimmer before her pregnancy. It looks like she's gained enough weight from the photos. There is no harm in exercising while you are pregnant. Provided you were already used to it before your pregnancy. As long as you take it easy and listen to your body (and if necessary to the doctor), exercise is good for you when you are pregnant.

Healthy
Sarah has responded to the fuss. According to her doctor, she and the baby are healthy and that's what counts.
