Steph Claire Smith has revealed that she’s grateful that she can continue to work out while pregnant.
The fitness influencer, who is heavily pregnant with her second child, says that while she has suffered some pelvic pain, she has otherwise sailed through her pregnancy.
‘If you feel well enough to exercise, you’re one of the lucky ones,’ the 30-year-old told nine.com.au.
‘I like to really focus on how grateful I am that my body is still allowing me to do movement.’
Steph has mainly been taking short walks and undergoing Pilates training, but has had to cease her love of running.
‘Where I’m at with my pregnancy, I’m not running, I’m walking but I am still trying to include some movement and walking is something that I’ve always loved,’ she says.

‘While I’ve definitely pared back the distance that I’m covering or the pace that I am doing, it’s still something that’s important to me to make the most of what my body can do.’
It comes after the social media sensation hit back after trolls shamed her for showing off her figure as a pregnant mum-of-one.
The podcaster shared a video in which she modelled her baby bump in a bikini and mocked the criticism, but later admitted that it did bother her.
‘I think for me this week getting backlash comments for me being in a bikini as a mum kind of rattled me,’ she told the Herald Sun.
‘Number one, people should be able to feel confident and comfortable to wear whatever is good for them’ the beauty continued.
‘And people can have opinions but there is not necessarily any need to share them.’
The influencer shares son Harvey, two, with husband Josh Miller, is expecting the couple’s second child.
Steph recently posted to social media to flaunt her baby bump in a cheeky film clip after being shamed for her barely-there ensembles.

In the footage, she can be seen wearing a skimpy bikini while miming the lyrics to Lily Allen’s 2009 hit, F*** You.
Captioning the clip, ‘Mum’s Should Cover Up’, Steph appears to be clapping back at body shaming trolls.
‘I’ll do me, you do you,’ Steph told her 1.5million followers in a message she shared in the post.
In the clip, the ultra-fit social media star, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, can be seen performing a series of hip-shaking moves as she lip-syncs to Allen’s protest song.
Steph can be seen miming to the chorus which includes the lyrics: ‘F*** you (F*** you), f*** you very, very much.
‘Cause we hate what you do, And we hate your whole crew, So, please don’t stay in touch.’
The song was originally written as a protest against ultra-conservative bigots who hold to homophobic and racist views.
Steph’s post appeared to meet a positive reaction from her followers.

‘Yesss!! Our children deserve parents who celebrate themselves and their bodies (especially mumma’s!) in all stages of our lives,’ messaged one fan.
‘Bloody good on you girl! I’d be in a bikini too if I looked like you!’ said another.
‘If I looked as good as Steph I would never wear anything other than a bikini,’ added another user.
It comes after Steph claimed she lost Instagram followers after announcing she has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD].
The fitness influencer revealed on Stellar’s Something To Talk About podcast she noticed a ‘massive spike’ in unfollows the day she revealed her ADHD diagnosis.
‘There was a massive spike in unfollows and I looked at the date and it was the day I had posted about my ADHD diagnosis,’ she said.
Steph said women were previously ‘misdiagnosed’, with more people now learning they have ADHD.
‘It’s a horrible sentiment online with ADHD over the last couple of years because a lot of people are coming out with this diagnosis,’ she continued.
‘People think it is this trend and they’re sick of hearing about it so I was very aware of that and it was one of the things that made me very nervous about sharing it.’
Steph bravely spoke about her health update in a vulnerable confession in October and admitted she felt ‘relieved’ when a doctor confirmed her diagnosis.
