Emily Ratajkowski is savoring the remaining months of her pregnancy with a nude selfie that makes her feel like a "fertility goddess."

The 29-year old model posted a bare Instagram portrait on Thursday as she prepares for a spring birth with husband and producer Sebastian Bear-McClard. "Sometimes I feel like Winnie the Pooh in human form, other times like a fertility goddess with a juicy butt," she wrote. "I took this on a day where I was feeling the latter.

Ratajkowski mused about life with either a son or a daughter: "…it’s shocking to realize how early young boys gain a sense of entitlement—to girls’ bodies and to the world in general."

She added, "I still fight subconscious and internalized misogyny on a regular basis, catching myself as I measure the width of my hips against another woman’s. Who is to say I’d be able to protect my daughter from it?" It's trodden ground for Ratajowski, who recalled feeling sexualized as a teen model in a 2020 social media caption and in a 2019 essay for Harper's Bazaar for which she showed off armpit hair that made her feel "sexy.
