Camila Coelho and her husband, Caro Coelho, are expecting their first child, a son, any day now. As she is ready to birth a baby boy, the fashion entrepreneur and influencer reveals photos from her nine-month pregnancy shoot.

Camila Coelho, who is nine months along, says that her pregnancy has been both beautiful and transformational at just about the same time. Recently, Camila and her pregnancy were captured by Elle. In an interview with Elle, she described how she “fully embraced” the way being pregnant is changing her body. “I was honestly very comfortable in my own skin, seeing my belly grow. I know on social media so many people talk about how fit I am and the six-pack and all that, but I was excited to see my body change and see the progress.”

Coelho’s purpose when sharing her journey with her 9.8 million Instagram followers was transparency. Camila discussed how being diagnosed with epilepsy as a youngster influenced her and forced her to retain a positive mindset from the start.

She recalls thinking to herself, “This baby is healthy, this baby is growing beautifully, and he’s going to be a perfect child, right from the beginning when the baby was still a fetus. He will be born perfect. My mental health changed as a result of reassuring myself, and this will affect the baby’s growth.

Camila observed how her body was changing, but she never once thought it was negative. She made the decision to concentrate on the amazing sensation of conceiving life inside of herself as she watched her body gaining weight. The influencer stated that she worked out more than ever before – roughly two to three times a week with her personal trainer – and that being active and eating well were extremely essential to her.

Coelho mentions her diet, adding that while she ate very healthfully and assured to acquire all the vitamins her body required, she also indulged in her cravings. “I never restricted myself; I never stopped eating carbs or chocolate or anything like that. I just made sure I was very active and consuming all the nutritious foods the baby need.”

Coelho has been as just a motivating and enlightening resource for pregnant women all around the world on how to lead fulfilling lives. She tells Elle, “I think my message to women is to stay positive, have faith, and be confident that everything is going to be okay. No matter what you’re going through, if you have epilepsy or any other problems that may impair pregnancy.

Camila added, “I still have some worries as my kid is soon to be born. However, I believe that I was very positive throughout my entire pregnancy. Although you will face a lot of obstacles and hard times, maintaining your optimism will help you get through everything. Because you are conceiving life, which is the most magical thing in the world, love yourself and your inner child.”
