Pete Davidson’s girlfriend Elsie Hewitt is “suffering” in her pregnancy.
The 29-year-old model, who is expecting her first child with her comedian boyfriend, opened up about the pain she’s dealing with in a video on her Instagram Stories on Friday.
“I’m in absolute agony pretty much 24/7,” Hewitt shared. “This morning, it’s really bad.”
Hewitt explained that she’s tried to “manage the pain” with different methods including acupuncture, stretching, exercise, steroid shots and energy healing, but so far nothing is working.
“At this point, if you can think of something that there is to do about the pain, I have tried it,” she told her 1 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,” Hewitt continued. “I actually really don’t know how it could get worse than this.”
Hewitt also noted that she believes her endometriosis — a condition where tissue grows outside the uterus — is “heavily linked” to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that she’s battling.
“So, I’m turning to Instagram because I would really like to speak to someone who has been through pregnancy and birth with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome,” Hewitt said. “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,” she added.
Before announcing her pregnancy in July, Hewitt opened up about how her endometriosis diagnosis would affect her ability 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. “A big part of why I opted for the surgery was, first and foremost, my symptoms, but second, to preserve my fertility or try to get to a place where I could sustain the chances of having a family one day.”
The “Dave” actress also admitted she has “this level of nerves that are building” as she gets closer to giving birth.
“So trying to mentally and physically prepare for literally having a baby, I just still can’t quite believe it,” she said.
As for Davidson, Hewitt told the outlet that he’s been “really good” about giving her “pep talks” during her pregnancy.
“He’s like, ‘Stop, rest, calm down.’ He takes the most amazing care of me,” she shared about the “Saturday Night Live” alum.
The soon-to-be parents were first spotted together in March. Over the next three months, they became Instagram official, moved in together, and made their red carpet debut as a couple.
