Ashley Iaconetti Reveals If She & Jared Haibon Want More Kids, Plus: More on Her First Pregnancy Journey
Could Dawson be getting a sibling soon?
As Bachelor Nation fans know, Ashley Iaconetti Haibon and Jared Haibon first met on Season 2 of “Bachelor in Paradise” in 2015.
Then, after many ups and downs, they surprised fans and announced their relationship in 2018.
The two got engaged on Season 5 of “Bachelor in Paradise” and tied the knot in August 2019.
Since then, they’ve welcomed their son Dawson into their lives and couldn’t be happier together.
Now, Ashley is answering fan questions about whether she and Jared plan to have more kids, and she opened up more about her pregnancy.

First and foremost, a fan asked Ashley if she was anxious about not getting pregnant right away when she and Jared first started trying.
She got candid and said, “A little, but my OBGYN was very reassuring and not worried at all. It took us seven months and repeat after me… THAT IS NORMAL! I get messages from girls all the time saying they’re worried after two or three months. People don’t often share how long it takes, all you see are the social media announcements. So my best advice is to chill and talk to your doctor.”
Some words of wisdom!
And Ashley was very open about how challenging her pregnancy with Dawson was, as she struggled with hyperemesis gravidarum, which is extreme, persistent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
So someone asked her how long until she started to feel less sick and like herself again after giving birth.
She said, “I instantaneously lost the pregnancy symptoms! I could chug water which was a huge aversion for me for all nine months. Of course, those were replaced with other symptoms like soreness. [...] But lucky I felt myself mentally and physically quickly. Probably because I hated pregnancy so much.”
Naturally, this led to someone asking Ashley if she and Jared plan to have more kids given her pregnancy was so difficult on her body.

Ashley opened up, saying, “*SIGH* yes, but at this point it’s mostly for Dawson’s sake. I want him to have a sibling. I want our nuclear family to have the same vibe/chemistry that Jared and I were blessed to grow up with.”
But she went on, adding, “I’m so mind boggled how people do life with multiple kids and work. MIND BOGGLED. I also can’t imagine how incredibly difficult it’s going to be for me to be pregnant if I have hyperemesis gravidarum again (which I probably will) with a little kid to take care of.”
As always, we know that Ashley’s honesty and candidness will help others feeling or going through something similar.
We look forward to their family expanding one day when they’re ready, but for now we are loving all the adorable Dawson content!
