‘Which is exciting and terrifying because I’m well and truly getting so much bigger and I can feel the stretch.’

Martha, who is 28 weeks pregnant, then promoted an oil product that she’s been using as her bump continues to grow.

The beauty influencer said she swears by the product and that she rubs oil on her belly twice a day.

It comes after Martha revealed she is not having sex during her pregnancy.

Martha explained on KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday how she is currently staying at her mother’s house in Melbourne after suffering from severe hyperemesis gravidarum – a condition that causes persistent and excessive vomiting during pregnancy. 

‘So you and Michael are having sex in your mother’s bed?’ host Kyle Sandilands asked.

Martha tried to quickly shut the line of questioning down by asking Kyle how often he had sex with his fiancée Tegan Kynaston while she was pregnant with their son Otto. He admitted ‘once or twice.’

‘We haven’t had our once or twice moment yet but who knows it’s [Michael’s] birthday [soon],’ she said.

Martha and her fiancé Michael Brunelli are expecting their first child together, but it hasn’t been an easy pregnancy journey for the couple.

Michael recently revealed how Martha’s morning sickness ‘nearly destroyed’ their relationship.   

In a piece for Body & Soul, the personal trainer, 31, shared that looking after Martha has caused him to ditch healthy habits, lose muscle and gain weight.

‘Not to say we aren’t eternally grateful to have been able to become pregnant, but this experience has almost destroyed us, individually,’ he wrote before explaining that Martha’s health rapidly declined after falling pregnant earlier this year.

Martha suffered from severe hyperemesis gravidarum – a condition that causes persistent and excessive vomiting during pregnancy 

Michael explained that at first he thought her symptoms were normal, but as the weeks went on her discomfort became ‘extreme’.

‘She was vomiting, refused to eat, couldn’t tolerate drinking water, was nauseous 24 hours a day and unable to get out of bed,’ he added.

Michael stopped working as a personal trainer to look after his future wife – but saw his mental and physical health decline too.

‘I stopped exercising, lost the care for what I was eating, I was stuck in my own head and not present. I had zero motivation, zero willpower, zero self-care and zero energy. I lost a lot of muscle, gained weight, slept poorly and my overall health declined,’ he added.

Fortunately, Martha’s illness subsided at 22 weeks, and is now able to return to daily activities and Michael has returned to work. 

Martha is due to give birth to her first child in February
