"Every Pregnancy Body Is Different," Writes Teejay Sidhu On Being Shamed As "Too Skinny"

Teejay Sidhu, who is expecting her third child with husband and actor Karanvir Bohra, added another post from her maternity diaries to her Instagram profile on Tuesday night. In her post, Teejay  writes about body positivity. She put everything into perspective, when she wrote: "Every pregnancy body is different - love yours, just as it is." In her post, Teejay revealed that she is often told by people that she is "too skinny." She began the note by writing, "People tell me I'm too skinny, that I should be heavier, especially since I'm expecting. (This is my 5 months pregnancy pic.) But for me, putting on is as hard, as losing is for others. And in the first trimester, I had terrible nausea, couldn't eat anything! (Hardly any 'pregnancy glow')."

Teejay, in her post, highlights that the only thing that is important is to embrace one's maternity body and that there is no such thing as an "ideal" weight. "I can't help the way I am," she wrote, adding that women who are expecting, shouldn't take "opinions too seriously." She emphasised on the need for eating healthy and wrote: "Now I eat properly, I've put on weight, but it only shows on my tummy. I can't help the way I am. I would tell anyone who's an expecting mom, whether you're on the thin/heavier side, embrace your maternity body. Don't take opinions too seriously. As long as you are healthy, there is no 'ideal' weight. Every pregnancy body is different - love yours, just as it is."
