It was a similar sentiment that Jesinta shared after announcing her impending arrival.
She admitted on her Instagram Stories that the last few months had been taxing.
‘Looks cute, but this person has given me a rough time the last couple of months,’ she wrote alongside three sick face emojis.
‘Sadly I’m not someone who thrives when they are pregnant.’
