30-year-old lingerie model, Sarah Stage, whose selfies featuring her tiny tummy turned her into an overnight internet sensation has given birth to a healthy baby boy.

Model welcomed James Hunter into the world on Tuesday afternoon. And despite her critics' claims that her unusually trim figure could be damage to to her unborn child, it seems their fears were unfounded.

Almost time

Sarah confirmed to E! that baby James weighed in at a healthy eight pounds, seven ounces and was 22 inches long at the time of his birth.

You'd have never guessed that this super fit lady was pregnant and ready to deliver if you saw her Instagram posts where she displays her tiny baby bump - her pregnancy six packs.

Sarah famously documented her changing figure via her Instagram page throughout her pregnancy, earning herself a huge number of fans - as well as a fair share of critics - in the process.

8 1/2 months

This had stirred up a debate on the web, comments exploded online over the past few days - How is this body possible?, people wondered. Is it safe? Healthy?

Stage become an internet sensation over the course of her pregnancy, posting a slew of photos to Instagram chronicling her development.

Her fan base has grown exponentially since she started documenting the transformation of her body.

8 months

Her 1.3 million Instagram fans are vocally divided on whether she looks fit or famished.

But how did she manage to have no baby bump at all even after 81/2 months? The model has maintained a strict exercise regime and practices healthy diet.

32 weeks

Stage told Entertainment Tonight (ET) that she has only gained about 20 pounds when she was eight months pregant.

Women should gain between 20 and 40 pounds throughout their pregnancy, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

7 months

Sarah had a trainer, and was working out a lot harder before the pregnancy.

The lingerie-clad model snapped her last pregnancy selfie on Monday, which she captioned: 'Still waiting #9months [sic].'

The snapshot of her in a black bra and thong underwear has been liked nearly 40,000 times since it was posted, and has earned nearly 4,000 comments.

And Sarah, who is of European and Costa Rican descent, took to Instagram last week to share a photo of growing belly during her ninth month of pregnancy, writing: '10 days until we meet #BabyJames.'
