She announced last month that she and her husband are expecting their first child together and, finally, we have been given a glimpse of surfer and shark attack survivor Bethany Hamilton’s baby bump.
The beautiful star, who recently shared her wonderful pregnancy news in a touching video, posed in her bikini, proudly showing off her blooming bump as she held her surfboard.
While she said at the time that she wouldn’t be giving up her beloved surfing now that she is expecting, she recently told People that she has definitely been feeling a change.
“It’s such a weird feeling to be surfing in the ocean while my baby is moving around inside me. It’s a cool feeling, but I noticed my balance is a little off and I fall more, so I’m having to focus,” she told the publication.
Bethany, who is married to Adam Dirks, said that it wouldn’t be turning her off practicing however, as it’s in her blood.
“My mom surfed all through her pregnancy. I’ll probably keep riding until about eight months,” she said.
