Den australske fitnessmodel Chontel Duncan har vakt opsigt, efter hun flittigt har delt billeder af sin egen graviditet på de sociale medier. Den yderst veltrænede og samtidig højgravide model ønsker blandt andet at sætte fokus på, hvor store forskelle der kan være på et svangerskab for den enkelte kvinde.
Ser man bort fra bulen på maven, er der absolut intet, der tyder på, at Chontel Duncan kun har få uger tilbage af sin graviditet. Ikke desto mindre er det alligevel tilfældet for den tidligere Miss Universe finalist og nuværende fitness model, der gennem hele sin graviditet har forbløffet sine mange følgere på de sociale medier med sin toptrimmede og veltrænede krop.
Da Chontel Duncan var 21 uger henne i sin graviditet, lagde hun et opsigtsvækkende billede på Facebook, hvor hun poserer sammen med en ligeledes gravid veninde, der i stedet var 25 uger henne i graviditeten.
I was surprised with a cute visit today from a friend Nat who is also expecting Just being able to see someone in the...

På trods af den store forskel, var begge kvinder sunde og raske, da billedet blev taget.
»Alle kvinder er gravide på forskellige måder, og det betyder bestemt ikke, at man gør noget forkert,« fortæller Chontel Duncan til Newscom.au.
Hun arbejder til dagligt som personlig træner og har også selv trænet hver dag under sin graviditet, hvor hun dog har været opmærksom på at skåne både knæ og ryg.
På Chontel Duncans Instragram-profil er hendes mere end 200.000 følgere blevet holdt flittigt opdateret undervejs med adskillige billeder, der afslører, hvor fit og veltrænet den højgravide model har fomået at holde sig.
BUMP UPDATE 36 weeks... only 28 days to go Boy do I feel pregnant, this tummy is massive, heavy, makes sitting up so difficult, rolling over in bed a funny task, trying my sneakers hard work & my back has its moments where it throbs. It's exciting because these are all NEW signs & signs that mean Little D is almost here. I'm interested to know where my waters will break hahaha... (If they do) Imagine if they broke this weekend at the hens in the valley or next weekend at my challenge break up party in the city OR while training in front of my clients hehehe... would be hilarious!!!! As of next week I have been instructed to commence some useful techniques to help bring on labour; 1) have sex daily most hilarious convo 2) stimulate my nipples every time I use the bathroom 3) increase my raspberry leaf tablets to 6 per day Predictions are that I'll labour around 4hrs & push for 30mins... fingers crossed these predictions are correct, that just sounds like a dream come true!!! But we will just have to wait & see... Drugs... I plan to go gas if needed, defiantly no pethidine & epidural would be considered as an absolute last resort. I want to use the shower, exercise ball, stand as much as possible & play my music to help calm any nerves of needed. I've been doing collaborative care, which is private for all of my appointments & public for delivery, then private for all post natal appointments. The public system can (if I have a completely normal delivery) send me home within 6hrs of birth isn't that crazy to think... I could labour for 4hrs, rest for 6hrs and be at home all within 10hrs of my first active labour contraction. Watched USA "one born every min", made my husband & I get so excited. I'm defiantly going to ask to pull Little D out like Kortney Kardashian did lol & I hope to god I don't scream hahaha... I've officially gained...

BUMP UPDATE 35 weeks.... Only 35 days to go! The past week I've experienced on 2 occasions swollen calves & ankles (aka cankles) don't worry it's nothing serious, my blood pressure is spot on. It's purely part of my journey and due to Little D being so bloody low & engaged. Poor guy has not moved position eek, my core does not allow him the freedom to do somersaults, but thankfully this is a very good thing as he is in the perfect position for delivery. The doctors don't want him to move from this position. So I bought these cheap miracle socks from Big W (in the section where all the "as seen on tv" shit is sold, and if I wear them with my feet up, the fluid literally disappears. They clearly are miracle socks lol We shot with the very talented Melanie @captured_dreams_by_melanie & as beautiful as her work is I still had my doubts in whether I could pull off shots like what I see in her portfolio. No doubt Mel knew exactly how to position us, where the best angles, lighting etc were & we could not be more OBSESSED with the images we have seen so far. Guys I know this is defiantly not your cup of tea, BUT let me assure you, it's very special, Mel wouldn't shoot you looking uncomfortable or awkward, it was an amazing experience for my husband and I to connect more & these memories we will forever cherish. Hands down DO IT!!!! My baby shower was on Sunday & it was absolutely PERFECT from the venue @rainforestgardens, the food (thanks Mum & Aunty Ann), the decorations & games (thanks girls), the music (thanks Erin & Sam), the cake/cupcake tower (thanks @miss_kate_xox), the Event letters (@eventletters) & of course all my friends and family for coming Little D was absolutely spoilt ROTTEN! My husband and I chose to open the gifts together at home so we could fill in my Kiki book on who got what so we could thanks each for their kind wishes and gifts. I have to say it was a day I won't forget. I'm still training each day as much as I can, nutrition is still the same no weird changes have happened & my OB appointments are now weekly YAY!!! Tonight we have our last Antenatal Class, man do I... CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO TO READ FURTHER

BUMP UPDATE 34 weeks, only 42 days to go... The week was good, got my training done (6-7 sessions), celebrated our BRIDE to be Madelines hens for 2 nights down the GC, celebrated my 14th Valo's Day with my husband (can't believe it's been that long), celebrated my husbands 29th Bday Monday & so far this week I have completed 5 @hiit_australia sessions, have already worked 47hrs & have 21.5hrs left to work, might do 3 more sessions & then it's my BABY SHOWER Baby shower excitement is an understatement, I am so grateful for my amazing close ones who have really gone above an beyond to make this happen. It's a HUGE task having over 100 guest confirmed so far... so I am very grateful for all the time they have put into getting this day ready. I feel so super round, super tight, still super energetic, still sleeping right through the night (no wee wee trips), still not holding much or any fluid, still VERY impatiently waiting, still eating everything with no cravings & still been granted permission by my Docs/Ob to continue my physical lifestyle. My husband I've realised needs constant reminding when Lil D's due date is and how many weeks we are he is seriously that BAD at this shit. Drives me mental pretty sure he doesn't read my updates lol I'm shooting & being interviewed by a very BIG label on Friday capturing a fit pregnancy & how moving your body helps the process. Stay tuned!!! Can I just say a quick SHOUT OUT of appreciation to my amazing HIIT family, they constantly bring out the best in this experience & have been such an amazing support network through the whole journey. The simplest tummy rub, glowing complement, notice the smallest changes, pats on the back after training & I could seriously go on. They have kept me on the straight road ahead, made me smile daily, brought so much excitement to what I have yet to experience & have truly come from the most humble place. Looking forward to celebrating this journey so far in just 4 short sleeps. Actually on Sunday night I had this lil power chuck... TO CONTINUE READING CLICK MY LINK IN MY BIO TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE

Selv har Chontel Duncan valgt at sammenligne sin graviditet og kommende fødsel med et maratonløb.
»Ville du møde uforberedet op til et maraton? Nej! Jeg forbereder mig ved at føle mig stærk, sund, fit og mentalt klar,« fortæller hun.
