Jorstad said :” She sharing ʙᴇʟʟʏ pics before the babies were born was to show the reality of pregnancy , and that it was only natural to share weekly pictures of her ʙᴇʟʟʏ after giving birth too.” However, she was sᴏᴏɴ ᴅɪsᴀᴘᴘᴏɪɴᴛᴇᴅ because she was still ʟᴇFᴛ with the ʟᴀʀɢᴇ ʙᴇʟʟʏ ᴘʀᴏᴛʀᴜᴅɪɴɢ ᴏᴜᴛ of her ʙᴏᴅʏ. This made her look as if she was still pregnant even after a month of her ᴅᴇʟɪᴠᴇʀʏ because her ʙᴇʟʟʏ had sᴛʀᴇᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ ᴏᴜᴛ a lot ᴅᴜʀɪɴɢ ʜᴇʀ ɢᴇsᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ.
