Ireland Baldwin Calls Pregnancy 'Hard': 'It Takes So Much Out Of You'
Ireland Baldwin has spoken about the challenges she is facing in her pregnancy.
The 27-year-old model took to Instagram on Wednesday and lamented the "physical and mental" welfare of her pregnancy.
"Pregnancy is hard. It takes so much out of you. I wasn't ready for that. I've always wanted a baby with the right person. I grew up with a very jaded perception of what love really looked like and I always wanted to have a child of my own with someone who would treat us right and love us unconditionally," Baldwin began her lengthy post.
She said she "underestimated just how hard pregnancy would be on my mind and my body" for a person who "deals with extreme health anxiety on a daily basis."
The "Grudge Match" star, who earlier announced she is having her first child with boyfriend André Allen Anjos or RAC, said the pregnancy "turned things into a high gear."
She went on to enumerate the things she is having trouble dealing with, such as "bodily sensations," "pains and aches" and "organs going to s–t randomly."
Because of all these, Baldwin said she feels like she is having "mental warfare." She also said it is "unrealistic" to be "glowing and angelic and in a constant state of bliss," and referred to herself as a "goblin," "bridge troll" and "curmudgeon" who is "vomiting 6x a day."
The eldest daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger captioned her post, "This s*** is HARD."
Her followers took to the comments section and left encouraging messages.
Actress Scout LaRue Willis said, "This is so real, so relatable (even to a nonpregnant person) and it's very cool that you shared! New friends can see your spirit and know they feel a kinship. It's ok to not feel ok, you have the capacity to hold your joy and excitement at the same time as all of the truly honest and very human feelings that are present! You are amazing."
Comedian Chelcie Lynn said, "I just think ur cool for sharing this man because I'm sure everyone can relate to this in some way. Life isn't perfect like it is on social media and that's ok!"
Earlier this month, Baldwin revealed her baby's sex and showed off her "nonexistent" baby bump.
