As soon as the photo was uploaded, users commented that they could see the head of her unborn baby just above her bellybutton, and the baby's legs curving around beneath it. The photo created a quite a stir and has received more than 24,000 likes on Instagram since its upload.
Comments include: "Look how cute to see the baby in her belly", "I can see the baby in her womb pressing against her belly" and "How nice! I've seen the baby even before it's born."
However, unfortunately for these avid supporters, the pros say it's just not possible.
Mr N. Pisal, consultant gynaecologist at London Gynaecology said: 'The fetus is surrounded by amniotic fluid, placenta and uterine wall. So this bulge is unlikely to be the fetus.
'It is more likely to be abdominal muscles pushed forward by the bulge of a pregnant uterus. It will be impossible to be absolutely certain though.'
It's nice that they believe though.
