Actress Kajal Aggarwal, who is expecting her first kid, shared beautiful images of herself flaunting her baby bump on Instagram.

She penned a long statement condemning body shamers and a sweet, uplifting note to women going through pregnancy and motherhood alongwith the photo.

"I’ve been dealing with the most amazing new developments in my life, my body, my home and most importantly my work place.

Additionally, certain comments/ body shaming messages/ memes don’t really help :) let’s learn to be kind and if that’s too hard, maybe, just live and let live," she wrote.

"During pregnancy, our bodies go through several changes, including weight gain!! Hormonal changes cause our stomach and breasts to get larger as the baby grows and our body prepares for nursing.

A negative mood may make us more likely to have unhealthy or negative thoughts about our bodies."

Aggrawal also shared tips that she follows to cope with her "undefined feelings".
