Australian model Shanina Shaik says pregnancy has changed her as she prepares to welcome first baby

Shanina Shaik has recently revealed how pregnancy changed her view of women and mothers. 

The Aussie model, 31, is set to appear in the September edition of Gritty Pretty Magazine where she discussed all things baby and modelling. 

‘I cannot wait to meet my baby boy and raise him, with my boyfriend [Matthew Adesuyan], to become a good person. Being a mother will be my greatest role yet,’ she said. 

She continued: ‘I’ve flown my mum from Australia to Los Angeles to be here for the birth. We’re all so over the moon.’

The mother-to-be went on to reflect on her pregnancy journey, as she is just weeks away from welcoming her first child.

‘Having a complication-free pregnancy is a privilege and the entire experience has made me appreciate women and mothers so much more,’ she added.

‘We bring life into this world and I really have a new found respect.’

The brunette beauty has not been shy when it comes to showing off her baby bump and her expectant motherhood experiences. 

A few weeks ago, she showed off her growing and glowing belly on Instagram as she dressed in a chocolate coloured bikini. 

The former Victoria’s Secret model made a play on words in the caption, changing ‘hump day’ – what Wednesday is commonly known as – to ‘bump day’. 

Shanina announced she was expecting her first child with her partner, advertising agent Matthew Adesuyan, on Mother’s Day.
