‘I have gained 15kgs’: Krystal Forscutt reveals huge baby bump at 39 weeks as she reflects on pregnancy
'I have gained 15kgs throughout this pregnancy, I found that I put on the majority of my weight in the first 30 weeks,' Krystal revealed in the caption.
She continued: 'And it seems to have slowed since then, which most likely has something to do with my stomach feeling like it has been reduced down to the size of a grape!'
Earlier in the post Krystal revealed she feels her hips have 'widened' significantly during her gestation.
'My hips feel like they have widened a lot and my belly has definitely dropped. I already have my colostrum in which didn’t happen with my first until after he was born,' the former reality TV star revealed.
She concluded the post by gushing over the amazing capacity of the female anatomy.

'I am still so amazed by the female body and have never felt more proud of being woman than when I am carrying a child! Cannot wait to meet our little one!' Krystal revealed in the caption.
In the image, the brunette beauty highlighted the juxtaposition of the pregnancy progress by featuring a '20 weeks' snap alongside a '39 weeks' shot.
In the side-by-side mirror selfie, Krystal showed off her remarkable gym-honed figure in a black bra and a pair of briefs.
The brunette star, whose due date is less than two weeks away, took to Instagram last week to respond to social media users who have apparently been criticising her for exercising so late into her pregnancy.
'People think I'm a little crazy for training at this point': Last week Krystal Hipwell (née Forscutt) took to Instagram to share a video of herself working out
Krystal shared a time lapse video of herself lying on the floor doing a series of exercises, accompanied by a lengthy 'rant' directed at some of her followers.
She wrote: 'Lately I have received a few NOT so positive comments from people who think I'm a little crazy for training at this point but I just wanted to clear up that, for me, exercise is a big part of my daily lifestyle and has been for many years now.
'I have a great awareness of my body and what it is capable of and would NEVER do anything that didn't feel right and risk the health of my baby.'

Krystal called for less criticism of pregnant women, telling her supporters that she hopes they do not receive the same judgement from strangers.
'For all you other expecting mamas who are also leading active lives I hope that you only receive encouragement and not judgement,' she stated.
'And for those who can't train or simply can't be bothered, absolutely no judgment either. Growing a life inside you is hard enough work as it is!'
Krystal rose to fame on Big Brother Australia back in 2006, and went onto make further TV appearance and pose for lads' magazines.
Krystal is married to Neil Hipwell, the director of a Sydney-based design and construction company, and the couple are parents to three-year-old son, Sonny.
