In case you had any doubt that every pregnancy is (really, really, really) different, check out this photo, currently going viral:
On the left is HIIT trainer and bodybuilder Chontel Duncan, 21 weeks pregnant in the November photo. On the right is her friend Natalie Smith, just four weeks further along.
“Each women carries different and this most certainly doesn’t mean one is doing something wrong or not healthy,” Duncan wrote on Instagram. “We both have healthy growing babies & we both have had incredible pregnancies so far, feeling amazing & full of energy.”

Duncan has been surprised by the backlash she’s gotten. “I thought it’d be very obvious that we would carry differently,” Duncan told People. “I’m clearly extremely tall and hold a lot more muscle mass. Plus it was Nat’s third pregnancy. It’s my first.”
Now nearing her due date, Duncan has kept up with her workouts throughout her pregnancy.
