Rosie, 32, kicked off the conversation by divulging how much weight she had gained while pregnant with her first child. "I gained a reasonable amount of weight ... about 55 pounds," she said. "On my way to there, I'm at 40 right now and I still have two more months," Ashley responded.

The British model went on to detail how difficult it was for her to lose the baby weight. "It just took so long to see that weight shift. I've had girlfriends who've lost it in two or three months, there was that bounce back. For me, I breastfed for six months, I didn't lose a pound," she said.

That prompted the Sports Illustrated beauty to confess that she has had a "rollercoaster of emotions" watching her body change with pregnancy. "I have had really terrible days, I've had really good days. I mean everybody can tell you how cute your bump is, but when your body is changing so rapidly it's like, you kind of have to succumb to it," Ashley revealed. She is a big advocate of body positivity. She frequently shares bikini photos and even nude selfies in an effort to get women to embrace their natural shapes.
