'I just want to allay the quite loud and aggressive concerns of those faceless folk who slid into my DMs after spotting this pic in my stories, asserting I shouldn't be in the gym while pregnant and was only doing it out of vanity,' she began. West then emphasised her fitness routine was focused on ensuring the best start for her unborn child.

'I continue to exercise to ensure the best for my baby. Regular GENTLE exercise keeps blood pressure in check and lowers the risk of gestational diabetes. 'It's great for mental health and I know only too well how strong my body will need to be in the coming months.'.
Madeleine West (pictured) has issued a scathing response to critics who questioned her decision to continue exercising at the gym while pregnant with her seventh child. She added she was attending a gym staffed by trainers skilled at helping pregnant women achieve their fitness goals.
'I attend a gym staffed by PTs well-versed in caring for pregnant women. They keep a vigilant eye on me, so even if I wanted to heft barbells across the room or twist myself into a pretzel, I'd be stopped.'. The Melbourne-born actress finished her post by saying it was okay for people to express their concerns to her, but she asked them to do so in a polite manner.
