The pregnant model is expecting her first child with husband Justin Ervin, and took to Instagram on Monday (19.08.19) to share a video of herself taking a quick nap whilst on a beach chair in a black bikini, as she insists extra sleep is a must whilst she's carrying her baby.
She wrote alongside the clip: "Naps are a new non-negotiable @lebarthelemy (sic)"
Ashley, 31, announced her pregnancy last week, when she posted a sweet video which also marked her and Justin's nine-year anniversary.
She wrote: "Nine years ago today, I married the love of my life. It has been the best journey with my favorite person in the world! Today, we are feeling so blessed, grateful and excited to celebrate with our GROWING FAMILY! Happy anniversary, @mrjustinervin Life is about to get even better. (sic)"
And just a few days ago, she took to social media again to share a candid image of her stretch marks, where she wrote: "same same but a little different (sic)"
The post was met with compliments and supportive messages from her fans, as well as celebrities including model Lily Aldridge and actress Niecy Nash, who both left a series of red heart emojis, and Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott, who commented, "My Lord, THANK YOU for this. (sic)"
One fan wrote: "Wish I could like this x 100000000 - so gorgeous xx (sic)
Whilst another added: "Beautiful beautiful ANGEL (sic)"
A third shared: "My body looks EXACTLY like this ... I'm not really proud of it...just saying that some of us don't have smooth skin or flat tummies like other women ... We come in different shapes, sizes and colors, but we deserve to be loved and respected just like everybody else (sic)"
A fourth wrote: "I'm such a wimp. I'm pregnant, hormonal, and going though so many body changes. This made me tear up. I really needed this today. (sic)"
And a fifth added: "What I see is confidence, acceptance, and being an inspiration to everyone that feels awkward about their own bodies. All that makes you kind and very attractive from inside out, keep it up and congratulations on the baby (sic)"
