“How I’ve been feeling has been changing daily so I’ve found it hard to share anything because I don’t really know how I feel myself…. any other pregnant women feeling the same? Or am I losing my mind??
“Anyway, after posting a workout yesterday I’ve had so many questions about working out so thought I would share with you my journey so far.
“It’s taken me some time to really get used to the fact that I’m growing a little human in me and to slow down. I’m always running around a hundred miles an hour, trying to do everything and taking it easy is just not in my makeup, it’s taken some adjustments. “
The avid gym-goer touched on her change in fitness routine since becoming pregnant and admitted she plans to “rest and taking it easy”.
“In regards to training I trained for the first eight weeks and then became absolutely exhausted, I really struggled with everything, I just felt sick tired and all over the place constantly.
“It was hard for my mind but I really had to listen to my body; rest & take it easy. When I say take it easy, I took it very easy there was lots of naps and not a lot of anything else.”

Elsewhere, Katie, who is step mum to Rio’s three children, admitted she has “terrible guilt” because she has had to lie down and go back to bed.
“Saying all of this, there are still days I feel absolutely wiped out, have terrible migraines & I do just go back to bed. In all honestly those days I feel so useless and have been having terrible guilt that I’m not around for the kids and Rio is doing everything.
“It’s such an amazing feeling having a little human inside of you, our family is so excited but it’s also so scary being pregnant for the first time..”
