Sydney Hightower Warner Gets Candid About the Struggles of Week 21 of Pregnancy: ‘It’s Getting Real’
Keeping it real.
Fans first met Bachelor Nation star Sydney Hightower Warner on Season 24 of “The Bachelor,” and while things didn’t work out with Peter Weber, Sydney has continued to share her life with fans on social media.
Shortly after her time on “The Bachelor,” Sydney met NFL star Fred Warner, and the two have been inseparable since.
The two got married last year, and now they are expecting their first baby together!
Sydney has been sharing pregnancy updates since announcing that they are expecting a little one.
She’s shared the good and the bad, from her pregnancy complications to adorable photos with her husband cradling her bump.
Now, Sydney is opening up on her Instagram Stories about the 21-week milestone and how it’s been a challenging change for her.
In an emotional video, Sydney said, “Something happened last night where it’s getting real. Things are starting to change really fast. I can’t breathe. I can’t sleep. I can barely walk. I still have 19 more weeks. This probably doesn’t even look big to you guys, but it does to me. The pelvic pain is back. I’m not gonna freak out because it goes away.”
She went on, saying, “Last night I woke up crying and Fred got me medicine. I literally could start crying again right now, but I’m not going to cry. I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve been so happy and doing so well.”
Sydney also kept it real when it came to gaining weight during pregnancy and how it’s been harder to move her body in the way she wishes she could.
She said, “This week I haven’t been able to work out or move my body. I did a small workout yesterday, but I didn’t even sweat and I’m just gaining weight by the pound. I don’t know what’s going to happen to me you guys, for real. Okay, I need to stop panicking. Off to have a mental b at the dermatologist. See ya later.”
Thankfully, Sydney went off to get a facial and show herself a little self-love during a difficult day.
We’re sending Sydney and Fred love as they get ready to embark on this exciting next chapter, and we know that Sydney being so honest about her experience will help others feeling a similar way.
