Bristol Palin announced she was expecting her second child in June, and now she's given her social-media followers a look at her burgeoning baby bump.

"#5Months," the 24-year-old mom captioned a bathroom selfie on Instagram, in which she sports ripped jeans and a long black top.

Bristol, the daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, first revealed her pregnancy in an emotional blog post on the website Patheos, one month after ending her engagement to Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer.

"Life moves on no matter what," she wrote. "So no matter how you feel, you get up, get dressed, show up, and never give up. When life gets tough, there is no other option but to get tougher."

She asked readers to respect the privacy of her and her 6-year-old son, Tripp.

"I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy," she wrote. "My little family always has, and always will come first. Tripp, this new baby, and I will all be fine, because God is merciful."
