Martha provided her followers with a close-up view of her athleticly toned midsection to indicate that she is yet to show many of the body signs associated with pregnancy.

However, she admits while her girth hasn’t clearly increased, she has observed other physical changes.

‘I’m definitely looking wider in the middle, maybe that’s something,’ she wrote.

Martha posted an Instagram video highlighting her toned abs from various angles to prove that she doesn’t have many pregnancy-related body signs yet.

Earlier this week, Martha provided candid details about how her battle with acute morning sickness has affected her pregnancy.

Martha, who is expecting her first child with fiance Michael Brunelli, said Sunday that being diagnosed with depression gravidarum changed everything.

She told The Daily Telegraph that her symptoms had manifested in many painful ways.

‘It’s like you’ve finished eating, you’re hungry and you’re in a boat. This is anything but fun, she said.

She explained that she was diagnosed just a month into her pregnancy, which forced her and Michael to cut their European vacation short.

She said: “I was stranded abroad, severely dehydrated and had to be given regular fluids.

What is Hyperemesis gravidarum?

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a condition that causes persistent and frequent vomiting during pregnancy.

People with the disease can get sick several times per day and be unable to keep food or water down, affecting their daily lives.

It is not likely to harm the baby, but if it causes women to lose weight during pregnancy it increases their risk of having a low birth weight baby.

It is different from morning sickness during pregnancy – commonly known as morning sickness – which is normal and affects 8 out of 10 pregnant women. For most, this will stop or improve around weeks 16 to 20.

Meanwhile, HG may not go into remission at this point and may last until the baby is born.

Symptoms of HG include persistent and severe nausea and vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, and low blood pressure.

Dehydration increases the risk of blood clots – deep vein thrombosis – but this is rare.

It’s not clear what causes this condition or why some women get it and others don’t.

Some experts think it may be related to the hormonal changes in the body that occur during pregnancy.

And there’s some evidence that it runs in families, and that women who suffer from it in their first pregnancy are more likely to have it in subsequent pregnancies.

Women with HG may be given medications to improve their symptoms, such as anti-sickness medications, vitamins B6 and B12, and steroids.

Some women need to be hospitalized if their nausea cannot be controlled with home medication.

They may require intravenous fluids and anti-sickness medications.
