Pregnant Palmer shocks fans

She may be nine-months pregnant but Aussie actress Teresa Palmer is showing no signs of slowing down.

The blonde beauty regularly shares snaps of her growing bump with her Instagram followers, giving an insight into how she keeps healthy with fitness classes, hikes and visits to the gym along with candid photos of her new husband Mark Webber.

But her latest post has fans worried after Palmer shared an image of herself ice-skating while heavily pregnant with the caption: "Preggo-on-ice!! #Ninemonths."

The 27-year-old's followers immediately expressed their concern for the unborn child if she was to fall over while skating, with many urging her to "be careful".

"Omg I started nervous sweating looking at this pic. Id look at my pregnant wife like she was crazy if she wanted to go ice skating," one fan wrote.

Another said: "This is terrifying, no joke."

However Palmer was quick to put out the fire, adding she was focused on the safety of her first child.

"And for any of you concerned my husband held my hand the whole time just not for the pic!," she later wrote.

Palmer and Webber announced both their engagement and pregnancy in August, with the lovebirds tying the knot in Mexico in December.
