Sarah Stage, a lingerie model, decided to share her pregnancy with her 1.2 million Instagram followers:
Yes that’s her at 7 months.

I've never been pregnant (even though according to my family I'm always pregnant, because in the Maivha family a 2 day migraine equals pregnancy.) I do however come from a very young family; my granddad is still sashaying through his fifties and my great grandmother is still hiding money in her beanie.
With that said I've experienced a lot of pregnancies - second-hand of cause, as in I've been exposed to a selection of pregnant women so I don’t have to be "with child" to know what most pregnancies look like and ladies and gentlemen I believe this model is a special case of blessed. Either that, or crazy.
I know most women have the beautiful glow with the sun-kissed-even-though-I-haven’t-been-to-Brazil skin, but when was the last time you saw a pregnant woman with abs? Please tell me; better yet send me photographic evidence.
My goodness how, how is this even possible? Has she been working out all her life? What is she eating? How many zumba classes is she taking? Too many questions all at once.
I will man up and say that the 30-year-old mother-to-be stole a little bit of my self-esteem the moment I saw her Instagram post on People. And to top it off she is working on a line of sexy maternity dresses. Yeah. I’ll wait for you to take that in.

I'm not shaming her, but I am hating, and I will admit to that. You see, I'm a human being and as a human being before I can truly be happy for someone I need to assess myself and compare my situation to theirs.
Generally when someone announces good news you usually are happy for them, but there is always that moment when you question your life choices, before you get back to being happy again.
So allow me to be in that phase every time I glance at this mother-to-be.
Here at 8 months:
And here at 8 and a half months:
