Hailey Bieber Reaches a Painful Pregnancy Milestone & She Is Not Amused

Don’t let her glowing baby bump pictures fool you — Hailey Bieber is just as miserable during pregnancy as everyone else. (Poor girl!) The model is currently expecting her first baby with husband Justin Bieber, and she took to Instagram to complain about the painful new pregnancy symptom she is experiencing.

Hailey shared a selfie on her Instagram story on Wednesday dressed in a green, half-zip sweater and stretchy black shorts that cover her bump. She sits on a chair outside, giving the camera a side-eye and making a pouty face. “So who was gonna tell me about the lower back pain? 😵‍💫🤰🏼🤰🏼” (Marie Claire has a screenshot HERE.)

The Rhodes founder is definitely not alone! Back pain is a killer during pregnancy — especially when you’re walking or sitting or lying down (so basically any time except while swimming, in my experience!). An estimated 50-80% of pregnant women experience back pain, according to Cedars-Sinai. This is caused by pregnancy hormones, your growing belly, and weight gain, per March of Dimes. Not to mention, pressure from the uterus can hit your sciatic nerve to cause sciatica pain that radiates from the lower back to your hip and down the back of your leg. I had this with all three of my pregnancies, and it is miserable.

Tips to help include using a pillow behind your back for extra support in your chairs, taking breaks from standing for long periods of time, wearing a belly support band, and sleeping with a pillow between your legs. Of course, you should always communicate your pregnancy symptoms with your health care provider.

Hailey has been open about her pregnancy journey with fans since announcing the news last month. She shared a picture of a snack she made, writing, “currently my biggest craving 🙈 🙈 🙈 🙈 Egg salad on top of pickle with hot sauce 🥲😂”

“And no, you’re not allowed to judge!!” she added.

Pregnancy definitely has its ups and downs, but Hailey is handling it well! And don’t worry, girl, it’ll all go away once the baby is here. Then you’ll just have the postpartum changes to endure!

These celebrities are expecting babies in 2024!
