In the photo, the influencer looked radiant as she displayed her growing baby bump in a pair of neon patterned knickers and lifted up her grey long-sleeved top.
Susie styled her brunette locks to one side as she went makeup-free and posed in a mirror for a sweet selfie.
Greg penned: ‘Happy international women’s day. There’s two incredible women in this picture, @susiejverrill and one I haven’t met yet but I know will become a strong, independent loving woman just like her mum.
‘I’m incredibly proud of Susie for working through this pregnancy when she felt so ill and down. It proves how remarkable she really is and I love her so much. #internationalwomensday #love.’

Greg and Susie are already parents to sons Milo, six, and Rex, three. They announced their third pregnancy in December.
Susie has suffered with Hyperemesis gravidarum – which causes extreme morning sickness, throughout her pregnancy. She was also diagnoses with the condition with her previous pregnancies.
HG is defined as severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Up to 20 per cent of sufferers experience symptoms up to weeks 14-to-20, however, most have relief in the later stages.
Unlike morning sickness, which affects up to 80 percent of pregnant women, HG causes severe dehydration and prevents sufferers from keeping any food down.

Just last week, Susie uploaded a playful post to Instagram as she prepares to welcome her third child.
The influencer looked typically radiant as she displayed her growing baby bump, which she joked was ‘taking over the entire frame’.
Treating herself to a relaxing pamper session, the blogger covered her tresses in a mask as she enjoyed a brief break from her parenting duties.
The social media star teamed a crop top with joggers and went make-up free for the candid shots.
Susie wrote: ‘Hair mask on. Belly taking over my entire frame (photo inspired by @maddiechester because I’m terrible at remembering to document bumps).’ (sic)

Last month, the doting mother was rushed to hospital after her baby girl ‘stopped moving’.
Greg admitted at the time that he ‘almost cried’ with relief when doctors found their little one’s heartbeat.
The athlete said that he and Susie grew worried as their unborn child is usually very active, stating: ‘So last night was stressful.
‘After a busy day of tidying and clearing Susie suddenly realised she hadn’t felt the baby move in a while.
‘I almost cried’: Last month, the doting mother was rushed to hospital after her baby girl ‘stopped moving’
‘We went through all the steps to try and make her move and nothing happened. The worry was caused by the fact that normally she doesn’t stop moving!
‘We jumped in the car and headed to the hospital. They found the heartbeat and then in typical fashion, she kicked! This apparently made Susie feel like a weather person though so silver linings.’
Most women begin to feel their baby move between 16 and 24 weeks of pregnancy, and the movement is typically described as a kick, flutters, swish or roll.
There is no set number of normal movements, and a baby will have their own pattern of movements that mothers-to-be should get to recognise.
The NHS website states that expectant mothers should call their midwife or maternity unity immediately if they notice their baby is moving less than usual, they can’t feel any movement or there is a change of pattern.
Medical professionals will then be able to check the baby and its heartbeat to ensure everything is okay.
Greg and Susie met in 2012, exchanging messages for two months before enjoying a bowling date together – and hit it off instantly.
They welcomed first son Milo in Oct 2014 with Rex arriving in July 2017.
Greg won Olympic gold in 2012 and is the British record holder, both outdoors and indoors.
Greg proposed to Susie in May 2019 during a hike in Arizona, with the couple later postponing their planned 2020 wedding in the US due to COVID.
