Sydney model Belle Lucia has been applauded by fans for sharing a “real” and “genuine” representation of pregnancy

Pregnancy isn’t always a blissful, bump-filled nine months.

In fact, some women suffer a whole bunch of different side effects as a result of carrying their little one for nine months.

From awful morning sickness to crippling back pain and of course, the major change to every expectant woman’s body. Having a baby is no walk in the park.

Australia model Belle Lucia has been sharing her pregnancy with fans and has been praised for sharing an honest Instagram photo which shows the “realness” of pregnancy.

The 24-year-old who is due to give birth in two months proudly flaunted her baby bump and displayed her visible veins on her chest as she rocked a skimpy bikini.

“I know I got a veiny chest. Happens because your blood volume increases by 50 per cent when pregnant and they go away after pregnancy when your blood volume returns,” Belle said, adding she has just one more week before she’s in her third trimester.

Her raw post instantly garnered hundreds of comments from fellow women who thanked her for not editing her veins and sharing a “real” and “genuine” representation of pregnancy.

This isn’t the first time that Belle who now lives in London has sparked a conversation about body positivity with one of her maternity posts.
