Victoria's Secret Model Candice Swanepoel Shared a Nude Maternity Photo and It's Stunning

Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel, who's expecting her second child, stripped down for a completely au naturel maternity photo on Instagram today. The 29-year-old model is basically glowing as she holds onto her baby bump, covers up her chest, and lets her long hair down in the new pic. She also revealed in the post that she's six months along, meaning her baby boy is expected to arrive in July.

"Body blossoming 🤰🏼the path between spiritual and the physical ...aren’t women amazing?! #6months," she wrote in the caption.

The model first announced her pregnancy three months ago, right before the holidays, with a photo of her caressing her belly outdoors. "Christmas came early," she captioned the shot.

Swanepoel had walked the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Shabghai a month prior, meaning she was with child when she hit the runway. She had missed the show in 2016, which promptly followed the birth of her first child, Anacã.

Since the second pregnancy reveal, the expectant mom has documented her growing bump to her nearly 12 million followers on Instagram.

One of those shots included this sweet moment between Swanepoel and fellow model Doutzen Kroes' three-year-old daughter, Myllena:

The two model moms posed for a beach shot, too:

There was also this outdoor pic in February:

And this cozy photo with her one-year-old firstborn, Anacã:

Swanepoel's incoming baby marks her second child wih fiancé and fellow model Hermann Nicoli. The couple got engaged last August.

The model previously opened up about her experience with natural birth.

“I don’t wanna put anyone off of having kids,” she told People last summer. “I think society has made women afraid of giving [birth naturally], but it’s totally doable if you prepare yourself in the right way."
