Montana Brown shows off her growing baby bulge in holiday photos from Los Angeles
On Wednesday, pregnant Montana Brown revealed her baby bump in retro images taken on a recent trip to Los Angeles.
At a photo op on a trail, a makeup-free Montana lifted her blue jumper to display her growing baby bulge.
She topped off her athletic ensemble with a pair of running shorts, covered her face with a cap, and grinned for the camera.
She wrote, “This pregnancy has already taught me so much!” in a lengthy caption.
Montana elaborated, “I have always felt really confident about sharing my experiences online, but falling pregnant, its nerve-wracking to open up about that journey.”
“Pregnancy comes with so many ups and downs and everyone’s experience is so different which no one really prepares you for. Everyone shares the amazing highs but often not the true reality of everything in between, and that can make it difficult.”
“I know being online often comes with opinions, criticism and judgement but, only now I’m sharing something so personal have I thought about it so deeply. It’s not something you would probably even notice, but every time I share about my pregnancy, it feels that little bit more scary.”
“Being able to share everything good and bad has honestly been so important for me to cope with this huge life change and you lovely lot sharing your experiences with me and making me feel supporting has been the most empowering experience.”
“So I wanted to share a little about the Peanut app. This has been a real safe space to find true and unfiltered mum life advice through pregnancy because, honestly, that has been more valuable than anything and made me feel like I’m not alone.”
“It works like a dating app, but for mum friends – you can meet women nearby and share advice across all things motherhood.”
“Whether you’re trying for a baby, pregnant or a new mother, @Peanut is an amazing resource when it comes to sharing genuine, real experiences with others and making new connections with people in a judgement free space.”
“I believe we all deserve to share our experiences without fear of feeling like we’re failing.”
After sharing on Instagram on Monday that she had been taken to the hospital because her baby was making “reduced motions,” Montana has now provided an update.
On Friday, however, she revealed that she had gone to the doctor because of’reduced fetal movement,’ adding that she had “simply wanted to be careful” and make sure her baby was healthy.
Now that she’s back from the hospital, she’s sharing photos to give her admirers an update on how she’s doing.
She said it was a “emotional and nerve-wracking” event, but the baby is fine.
In her entry, she wrote, “Recently… feeling grateful that everything is all healthy and looking ok. Definitely so emotional when you overthink what’s going on in your body and movements differ between days.”
“I had reduced movements which were all explainable but it’s so nerve wracking when it’s your first time going through it all.”
“So thankful for the wonderful NHS and really glad we decided to go with a local hospital rather than in London.”
“Also so grateful for my wonderful partner too, has been a bit of a stressful few days but so beyond thankful for my good health, good people around me and phenomenal professionals in our hospital.”
On Christmas Eve, she posted the happy news to Instagram, where she has 1.2 million followers.
Montana showed off a video montage of her pregnancy’s early stages, including with her and her boyfriend laughing and smiling over a positive pregnancy test.
“Baby O’Connor coming next summer [white heart, baby emoji].” she added as a caption.
The reality star also got an ultrasound and cuddled up to Mark on the beach while on vacation, both of which were included in the post.
