Ashley Iaconetti Haibon Explains Why She Was 'Very Concerned' Early On in Her Pregnancy
Ashley Iaconetti Haibon opened up about her pregnancy and dealing with worrisome symptoms during a candid Instagram Story Q&A on Wednesday.
“Sorry if TMI, but I actually have had brown spotting on three different occasions,” wrote the franchise star, who is expecting her first child with husband Jared Haibon. “It was not implantation spotting.”
She continued, “I was very concerned at the first instance. The internet did not help, but my OBGYN’s nurse calmed me.”
Ashley then shared details about her birth plan ahead of Baby Haibon’s February due date. She explained that, as the “daughter of an anesthesiologist,” she is definitely getting an epidural.
“Of course, I respect everyone’s personal choice, but natural has never been something I desired,” Ashley elaborated. “I want to feel as little as possible.”

Ashley and Jared — who tied the knot in August 2019 after falling in love across multiple seasons of “Bachelor in Paradise” — announced their pregnancy on July 15. Days later, Jared praised Ashley for navigating a “rough” first trimester.
“Even though it’s been a rough first trimester so far, she is as beautiful today as she was in this picture. Ashley has been a trooper and I love her so much,” he wrote on Instagram. “Last night, she threw up five times throughout the night. It’s been a very sick month for her. I feel terrible because there’s not much I can do except the occasional runs to the store for chocolate cake or to 7/11 for Slurpees.”
Jared added, “I love her very much, she’s a strong woman and I know Ashley is going to be an incredible mother.”
