Pregnant Woman Responds To Trolls Calling Her Baby Bump 'Too Small'

There's nothing worse than hearing about trolls harassing yet another woman about her natural body shape. It's 2016, you guys, can't you find any other hobbies? I hear macrame is really fun and time consuming, so maybe start there.

The latest woman to be on the receiving end of a bunch of annoying troll banter is fitness model Daegan Coyne, who was called out for having "too small" of a baby bump. Every other day, you hear about more nitwits giving pregnant ladies flak for appearing too big, too muscular or too thin.

Somehow, these jerks still don't get that all bodies are different -- especially pregnant ones. And, frighteningly, some trolls are going so far as to share pictures of expecting moms on porn sites without their knowledge.

But enough is enough and Daegan Coyne is not about to back down. At seven months pregnant and perfectly healthy, the model and fitness guru snapped back at the haters with a powerful message. In an Instagram post, she wrote,

I have had pregnant friends called out for being 'too big,' others 'far too muscly,' and myself, the 'you're way too small. Given I am yet to see one lady carry their pregnancy shape and size the same as another, I believe it's safe to assume peeps that there is no 'one size fits all' pregnancy.

Spoken like a true body image hero. Hopefully the haters will take this as a sign to finally stand down (though don't go holding your breath).
