You might remember Chontel Duncan from when her third trimester baby bump - or lack of bump - went viral during her first pregnancy.

Duncan has lived up to her fit mom persona ever since. She's continued to share photos of her post-pregnancy abs and from life with her 13-month-old son, Miah. But things are about to change for the trainer - she took to Instagram earlier this week to announce that she's expecting baby number two in September!

"Come September, we'll be welcoming baby number two into the Duncan residence," she shared in the first of two videos. "Yes, that means I'm pregnant! I'm over four months pregnant and I'm so over the moon, we are so happy and cannot wait to meet our little baby."

Duncan admitted to being a little afraid to tell her fans about the happy news. "I have finally built up the courage to open up another journey in my life with you all," she said in the video. "I have fear; I have so much fear, actually. There's always going to be the negative side … But I've chosen to continue to share my life with you guys as I always have."

She was likely acknowledging the backlash she received from sharing aspects of her first pregnancy on Instagram - no one could have predicted how people would react when she posted a photo on Instagram last March showing how different pregnancies can look on different people, comparing her belly to her visibly pregnant friend, Nat, who was only four weeks further along. People expressed their concern about how little she was showing as well as her pregnancy workouts. But that's not stopping her this time around - in her second video, she said she's going to share even more in hopes to "inspire and educate."

Duncan revealed that she's going to begin posting YouTube tutorials with more insight on her life as an expectant mother so her followers can learn from her experience and to motivate them to follow her healthy lifestyle. And true to form, she followed up those videos with a video of her doing chin-ups with a HIIT workout in the caption. Naturally.
