Everybody has an opinion.
Pregnant blogger Sarah Stage shut down “Instagram medical experts” who criticised the fact that she is working out at almost eight months pregnant.
The 33 year old, who is known online as “six pack mom”, showed off her exercise routine in the clip as her son James Hunter played nearby.

She wrote alongside the video:
“As I’m nearing #8months I’ve wanted to share what’s been on my mind.
“Since I’ve announced my second pregnancy, I’ve had certain ‘Instagram medical experts’ tell me what I should and shouldn’t do.
“And while I find some of the comments hilarious, I choose to only listen to my OBGYN and of course I also listen to MY body.
“If something feels off, I don’t do it! I always do what’s best for my growing baby and put him first!

“It’s a proven medical fact that continuing exercising while pregnant has many health benefits for you and baby.
“Clearly, I have greatly reduced the intensity of my workouts and stick to at home home exercises from my Fitness Ebook 2-3x a week.
“There are also some people who assume that since I am exercising while pregnant, that I’m obsessed with how I ‘look’ but in fact I’m obsessed with maintaining a healthy lifestyle that will give my baby and myself the best possible quality of life.

“Alternatively, I don’t judge anyone who chooses to not be active while pregnant etc. as it’s their own life… I’m just sharing my pregnancy journey and appreciate the positive support from most of you.”
The Los Angeles based model announced her pregnancy in June with a photo showcasing her flat tummy.
