Model Who Showed Every Pregnancy Is Unique Poses With Her Friend Again
As anyone who’s been pregnant can tell you, no two baby bumps are alike. Recently, a photo went viral showcasing this very truth, featuring a model and her friend who were only four weeks apart in their pregnancies, yet their baby bellies looked worlds apart. Now, they’re back, both with healthy little ones, demonstrating that the size of their bumps had zero impact on their pregnancy outcomes.
Meet Mia Thompson
Meet Mia Thompson, the Australian fitness model who gained fame in March for posing with her pregnant friend, Lily. Eight weeks ago, Mia welcomed her baby boy, while Lily also celebrated the birth of her son. The duo reunited recently to recreate their iconic pregnant pose, but this time, they were cradling their adorable infants.
Mia shared on her Instagram, “Just had a delightful surprise visit from Lily and baby Oliver. His bright blue eyes are simply mesmerizing! I wish I could have given him all the cuddles, but I’m still on the mend (hence my not-so-glam face). Two amazing pregnancies and now, two healthy baby boys!”
According to her birth announcement, Mia’s son Oliver arrived at 39 weeks, weighing a robust 7 pounds, 14 ounces. Despite maintaining her toned physique during pregnancy, which raised eyebrows online, Mia always knew she was doing right by her body and her baby. Maybe it’s time for the naysayers to hush, as little Oliver is nothing short of perfect.
The Reality of Pregnancy
We all know that how we look during pregnancy doesn’t dictate how healthy or big our babies will be. Many of us have seen that petite mom with a barely-there bump who gives birth to a 10-pound baby, or the one who looks like she’s hiding a beach ball and has a 5-pounder. The shape or size of our bellies is hardly a reliable indicator of our future little ones’ health or size. It’s about time the world stops speculating on a pregnant woman’s baby based on her appearance.
Mia is already back on her fitness grind, proudly documenting her post-baby progress on Instagram. She expressed feeling “very happy and proud” of her body after childbirth. And why shouldn’t she be? Staying in peak physical shape is part of her career, and she’s absolutely crushing it. While she’s not your average mom navigating the post-baby body journey, it’s her reality and her profession. All we can do is cheer her on!
