Model who is almost 9 months pregnant is so fit she has abs

LOS ANGELES -- A pregnant Los Angeles model is sparking conversation across the internet for her extremely fit physique.

Sarah Stage, 30, has visible abs even though she is almost 9 months pregnant. Stage regularly posts pictures of her baby bump on her Instagram account, where she has 1.2 million followers.

Stage says her baby is now 5 lbs. The model posts pictures of herself working out and of her healthy meals. She has a website to "share her journey of pregnancy and motherhood."

Despite many saying Stage seems to skinny for a pregnant woman, others have jumped to her defense. Stage also seems to be taking the criticism in stride.

Eek officially 81/2 months... And he's now 5lbs 🐻 #34weeks
