Ashley Iaconetti Haibon Details Pregnancy ‘Turning Point’ Amid Challenging Side Effects
Ashley Iaconetti Haibon and Jared Haibon — one of Bachelor Nation’s favorite couples — are expecting their first child together, and Ashley has been real with fans about what pregnancy has been like for her.
As fans know, these two first met on “Bachelor in Paradise,” and after years of ups and downs, they eventually fell in love and got engaged on that same beach.
The Bachelor Nation stars got married in August 2019 and announced in July 2021 that they were expecting a baby boy.
And while they have shared their fair share of adorable pregnancy content, Ashley has also been extremely honest with her followers about the not-so-glamorous aspects of her pregnancy.

She’s opened up about her pregnancy acne, nausea, constipation, and more, but in a new post, Ashley said she feels like she turned a corner at the 18-week mark.
The mom-to-be shared a photo of her growing bump and wrote, “I threw up for the first time in a whole week just minutes after I took this photo this morning. That’s a big step forward in my pregnancy! The longest time I’ve gone between barfs! I feel like this week 18 has been a turning point for me (knock on wood).”

Ashley also revealed that the anti-nausea medication Zofran has been a “life changer” for her in her second trimester and noted how grateful she is to be feeling a little better. Most of all, she’s happy that her baby boy is healthy.
While Ashley admitted she doesn’t feel like she has the “glowing stereotype of a pregnant woman,” she posted that she’s “so thankful my level of comfortability is improving and that the baby boy in my belly is doing well.”
Since their son “starts to be able to hear in the womb this week,” Ashley and Jared have special plans for him. “You better believe headphones are going to be on my belly playing Backstreet Boys, Hanson, Richard Marx, Elton John, Celine Dion, Billy Joel, Taylor Swift, The Eagles, *NSYNC, Broadway, yacht rock, boy bands….and, of course, Rob Thomas…and probably Tom Brady mic’d up…Go Bucs!” she wrote.
How sweet!
The couple previously revealed that their due date is February 10, 2022, and we can’t wait to meet their little bundle of joy.
Until then, we will continue to appreciate all of Ashley’s authentic and honest pregnancy content!
