"This is sheer dumbness. I think she's only worried about the video or herself rather than the child she's bearing." "Stupid and dangerous. There are numerous ways this can go wrong." "This is the most stupid thing you can do during pregnancy," said another. Others accused the mum of child abuse, attempted abortion, and worse. The mum, who has since welcomed a healthy baby boy, said she won't let the trolls get to her. She is also a mum to a three-year-old daughter named Smiljana. "I’m not sure which one of these comments that I received in my final month of pregnancy takes the prize as the most ridiculous one?" "The ones where people are body shaming a pregnant woman? The abortion comments? The accusations of a fake pregnancy? Or maybe it’s the “TRENt” and “ANNAvar” baby name suggestions."
"Either way, for 9 FULL Months I’ve stirred up emotions, started conversations, and hurt fragile egos while unapologetically and confidently stood up against these bullies," the mum-of-two wrote. The mum added, "False claims and opinions about my well-being as well as my child’s well-being have been debunked on National TV by no other than the famous OB/GYN Women’s Health Expert Dr Jessica Shepherd MD." She continued to praise her own doctor, who approved the workouts. "The support, approval, and guidance from my own Doctor, Dr Kevin Jovanović who has examined me and my son monthly/weekly throughout this whole journey has given me the reassurance in my knowledge." "As well the encouragement to redefine what we know about physical activity in pregnancy, while continuing to break down the stereotypes, limits and barriers of what we are capable of as humans." Doctors advise expectant-mums to exercise three to four times per week. Exercises like swimming, walking, yoga and low-impact aerobics classes are best when pregnant.
