Pregnant BBC Breakfast star Emma Vardy flaunts her baby bump in form-fitting gym clothes as she debunks ‘myths’ about pregnancy training
BBC Breakfast star Emma Vardy showcased her growing baby bump in form-fitting sportswear in a new Twitter snap shared on Friday.
The journalist announced in May that she is expecting her first child with husband Aaron Adams, whom she married in March 2022.
And Emma cheerfully showed off her changing figure in form-fitting gym clothes, which she paired with burgundy trainers while snapping a selfie during a break from training.
In the caption of her post, Emma asked her followers about the “myths” and “contradictory views” women have about exercising during pregnancy.
She wrote: “Ladies, I would like to hear your experiences of working out in the gym while pregnant?

“Also runners, what conflicting beliefs, myths and advice have you heard?” Are we getting enough training guidance over the 9 months? I’m filming an article for @BBCBreakfast about it.’
Her post drew numerous comments from women who shared their current or past experiences of exercising during pregnancy.
One wrote, “I took Body Combat classes up to week 33, then I felt like it was time to rest!” I took Sh. up to 6 days before my scheduled CS at week 39 ‘Bam courses attended. I felt great, had loads of energy for the courses I love and had lower options available when I needed them. So why stop?
While another shared, “The gym — a class called Pregnancy Power Up — was vital to my mental health during pregnancy.” Our trainer tailored everything to our specific needs (e.g. I had pelvic girdle pain and was unable to therefore do not do asymmetrical things). At 39 weeks I was deadlifting, benching, squatting and rowing!’
“I’m still exercising at 29 weeks but I don’t think we’re getting enough guidance on what’s safe and everyone has different opinions.” I love the exercise and hope to continue through to delivery. I’d love to raise awareness!’ commented a third.
And another added, “I was 6 months pregnant with my two daughters and went through easy labour.” I got funny looks at times, but it helped me deliver two healthy girls without complications. Helped my hormones too!’
Emma is currently deputizing for presenter Nina Warhurst on BBC Breakfast as she takes maternity leave after giving birth to her third child.
And off screens, Emma has been documenting her own pregnancy and sharing snaps of her growing belly.

Congratulations! Emma announced her pregnancy back in May, when she flaunted her blossoming belly in surf gear while posing with her board
Last month she looked like a beaming mother-to-be in a form-fitting white dress as she celebrated her baby shower.
She paired the one-shoulder dress with a pretty flower crown and cradled her stomach while standing in front of a backdrop of balloons.

The presenter, who married her partner at Lissanoure Castle in County Antrim, captioned her post: “Well folks it’s definitely getting a little harder to balance… extra load on the ride!!”
“I still manage to catch a few waves though.” Have a wonderful weekend in Co Sligo and a very exciting summer ahead!!’
