Throughout both her pregnancies Emily has made a point of documenting the “real” side of what happens when you are expecting.

“When I was pregnant with Mia I personally didn’t see much ‘real’ stuff out there. It was all very glamorised. Everyone looked amazing, enjoying pregnancy and bouncing back, and I am sure people out there did talk abut it, I just didn’t see it,” Emily said.

”It wasn’t spoken about enough, so I thought I was in a good position to be honest and show all the ups and downs – but obviously still show I am really grateful to be able to have babies.
“However, it’s not sunshine, rainbows and lollipops. It’s hard work and you feel sick.”

However sharing the real ups and downs of her life during her most recent pregnancy has seen Emily targeted by sick comments from trolls.

The fitness star was criticised for taking a work trip to New York in February and was forced to hit back after being slammed by one for leaving her daughter Mia at home.

Emily also shared horrendous comments from one account that had wished her unborn baby would die.

In an Instagram post about the hurtful messages Emily said that while she had tossed up sharing the comments publicly it was important to “shine a light” on the negativity people received on social media.

I’ve had a number of similar messages to this one and they’re coming from women with legit IG accounts – not hiding behind obvious fake ones,” Emily wrote.

“This DM came after I posted a slide saying, ‘If you can’t be kind & supportive then be quiet. This does not mean you can’t offer constructive criticism, just make sure it’s from a place of kindness – there is a difference between that and criticism that’s intended to hurt. HURT or HELP – your choice.’ – I stand by these words.”
