By the time they reach full-term pregnancy, most women feel tired, in pain and somewhat ready to deliver their baby.
Not Chontel Duncan. The 28-year-old fitness model and personal trainer from Brisbane is continuing to work out right until the birth of her second child.
At the end of last week, she published a video of her gruelling regime less than a week before she gives birth.

‘Baby is fully posterior. Has a bigger head than Jeremiah did at birth, is measuring bigger overall than Jeremiah,’ she continued.
‘And at yesterday’s appointment I saw that I still have plenty of room in there for baby to grow much bigger.
‘What size do you all think baby will be? Jeremiah was seven pounds and 13 ounces, and this baby at our last measuring scan (two weeks ago) was over seven pounds already.’
In recent videos while she is pregnant, Chontel can be seen rowing, lifting, squatting and stretching (pictured)

In the video, Chontel can be seen conducting a HIIT session with her trainer – which sees her work both her upper and lower body before giving birth.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Chontel said: ‘Everything I do is overseen and approved by my obstetrician; it’s minuscule compared to what my body is used to’.

When she had Jeremiah last year, Chontel also shared clips of herself working out up until around two weeks before delivering.

Another added: ‘I see zero fat increasing on you even though you insist it is. You’re major pregnancy goals’.
Meanwhile, Chontel has won plaudits for maintaining her abs while she is pregnant.
