In April, she spoke about the stresses of the third trimester,writing, “I find myself having moments of fear and anxiety which I really haven’t had yet, many moments of tears from frustration of feeling more and more uncomfortable, and the sudden reality that everything is about to change. I also find myself feeling very nervous about the remainder of the third trimester and knowing I will get bigger and more uncomfortable which some days seems impossible.”
