The pregnancy finish line is almost in sight forBelle Lucia!
But the lingerie model is not stressed out about the extra pounds.
“Gained a total of 10KGS [about 22 lbs.] (so far, still got a while to go!),”Lucia wrote on Instagram. “Loving my pregnancy body, weight gain isn’t a negative thing! Don’t ever feel ashamed.”
“I’m in the last trimester,” she said with a shocked emoji. “Can time slow down please? But I have been pregnant this whole year. That’s a long time.”

“Yes I’m sure,” the lingerie model responded, along with a laughing emoji. “I got pregnant last year.”
Another woman said that she, too, is 27 weeks along but that her bump is much larger.
“Yes, everyone is different!” Lucia responded. “It’s amazing how different every woman is. Congratulations beautiful, it’s such a blessing.”

One commenter asked Lucia to share her weight before her pregnancy, but the model declined for a great reason.
“I don’t think it’s healthy to share weight — height, muscle mass, genetics, etc. will change weight significantly and I have lots of young girls following me who might think weight matters when it doesn’t,” she said. “You should never compare how much you weigh to someone else. My pre-pregnancy weight was healthy and my pregnancy weight is healthy.”
“What is wrong with people…lesson 101: what not to say to a pregnant lady or any woman ever!!!” Lucia responded.
Lucia previously told PEOPLEthat the assumptions people make about her bump are misplaced.
“I wanted to make it clear that women have no control over their bump, including myself,” she said. “Women’s bumps show at all different stages and come in a variety of shapes and it’s never okay to criticize a woman’s bump whether that be too big or small.”
