She wrote alongside a snap which saw her posing in the mirror: 'Things I've learned in my third trimester...
these experiences are my own, every single woman, body and pregnancy is entirely different.
'Walking is actually more uncomfortable than lifting weights.'
She continued: 'I wish I'd taken the first sniff of dropping iron levels more seriously, and overhauled my diet and supplements / medication approach, instead of thinking some Spatone and vitamin C in the morning would sort me right out.
'If I had, I would have avoided a lot of scary moments like fainting on / in various modes of transport, and generally feeling like I can't breathe, as well as looking like a goth.
'Being left alone in your third trimester feels intensely overwhelming.
It's okay to come off social media and refocus your priorities.'
