When Gabriella Kelly shared a video online showing the changes to her face and body, she was horrified by the vile insults. She had simply wanted to compare how she looked at four weeks and how drastically she had transformed by 37 weeks pregnant. "It's amazing what pregnancy does to us," she said.
"At four weeks I was so full of energy and I even had the strength to do my hair lol. "At 37 weeks I had pregnancy nose, my mouth doubled its size, I was so tired and didn't even care to do my hair "But it was amazing what my body did all of it was so worth it." But as Gabriella, 31, reached the final stage of her pregnancy earlier this year, she felt like a 'totally different person'.
In the early stages she had felt a little nauseous but was full of energy until around 20 weeks. At five months she broke out in spots and her face began to swell. At that point vile trolls bombarded her with cruel insults such as: "I thought she was going to ask me to take a bite of the poisoned apple.
