Pete Davidson’s girlfriend Elsie Hewitt revealed she has been living in ‘absolute agony’ amid her pregnancy with their first child.
On Friday, the model, 29, took to her Instagram Story to describe her pain as so severe that she can ‘barely walk.’
‘I’m in absolute agony pretty much 24/7,’ Hewitt admitted in an emotional update. ‘This morning, it’s really bad.’
Hewitt said she’s tried ‘everything’ to manage the worsening symptoms, from acupuncture and stretching to exercise, steroid injections and energy healing, but nothing has eased her daily torment.
‘At this point, if you can think of something that there is to do about the pain, I have tried it,’ she told her one million followers. ‘I have tried everything, and it’s only getting worse and I cannot walk.’
‘I am just straight-up suffering and in so much pain every single day,’ she continued. ‘I actually really don’t know how it could get worse than this.’

Hewitt revealed she believes the unbearable pain is tied to long-running health issues – including endometriosis and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), a connective-tissue disorder that can affect joints, skin and mobility.
‘I would really like to speak to someone who has been through pregnancy and birth with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome,’ she pleaded. ‘Did your pain go away after? Does it get better? Am I gonna die?’
‘I just really want to feel a little bit of hope.’
Before sharing her pregnancy news in July, Hewitt had publicly discussed her endometriosis diagnosis and the fear that she might never be able to conceive.
‘I was 100 percent convinced that I was infertile and not going to be able to have kids,’ she told People last month. She explained that undergoing surgery was partly to treat her symptoms and partly to preserve her chances of becoming a mother.
Now approaching the final stretch of her pregnancy, the Dave star said she feels ‘this level of nerves that are building’ as the reality of giving birth sets in.
Meanwhile, Davidson, 32, has been trying to keep her spirits up.
Hewitt says the comedian has been ‘really good’ about giving her pep talks, reminding her to ‘stop, rest, calm down,’ and taking ‘the most amazing care’ of her throughout the ups and downs.

But the former Saturday Night Live cast member confessed earlier this year that he feels responsible for the lack of privacy surrounding their pregnancy.
While appearing on The Breakfast Club, he said he initially ‘felt bad’ his fame would thrust Hewitt – who is ‘a very private person’ – into public scrutiny.
‘I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of s***,’ Davidson admitted. ‘Anything I do or she does now is gonna be a thing.’
He added that she’s ‘doing all the work’ and deserves to enjoy the experience without added pressure.

‘She’s never made me feel this way or said anything but I feel so guilty and horrible that I could not allow her to have the ideal pregnancy that almost every woman gets to have and enjoy.’
Hewitt and Davidson went Instagram official in March when she shared a candid clip of the comedian stretching out his arms to hug her.
They made their red-carpet debut in May at the 13th Annual Blossom Ball, before shocking fans in July with their pregnancy reveal, including a sonogram photo.
She cheekily captioned the post, ‘Welp, now everyone knows we had sex.’
