A first time mum-to-be has spoken out about abusive comments made about her pregnancy.
Fashion blogger and wife of an AFL player, Nadia Bartel revealed in a post that strangers have commented on her diet and asked if her doctor is okay with the small size of her baby bump.
"These same strangers have also accused me of not eating enough and stating I am not the 'normal' size," the 30-year-old wrote on her blog, Chronicles of Nadia, on Tuesday.
She said she would never think to comment "on a lady's bump size, (other than to think how beautiful it is). Or to judge her on what she is eating, wearing or how much she is working. Each to their own! I have had so many rude comments from strangers on the street..."
She defended her pregnancy health writing: "I have gained seventeen kilos so far. So I am definitely in the normal range and not underweight."
