Megan Gale has followed in the footsteps of Demi Moore, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson by posing nude for a magazine cover while heavily pregnant.

The WA supermodel graces the front of the latest issue of Marie Claire at 30 weeks pregnant, one arm covering her chest and the other skimming her baby bump.

Gale is expecting her first child with boyfriend AFL player Shaun Hampson next month.

The 38-year-old today posted a sneak peek of the shoot via her Instagram page, where she wrote about her fear at stripping off for the snaps.

"It was quite a daunting experience posing for a magazine without a stitch on, a concept not new to me, but something I haven't done for many years- and obviously never done at 30 weeks pregnant," the caption read.

"All in all, it was quite a liberating thing to do and I'm glad I did it - and such a lovely momento to have (sic)."

Gale previously revealed she was taking six months off work to focus on caring for the newborn.
