Catherine, 38, opened up to followers about her pregnancy journey admitting it felt as though she’d been pregnant for a lot longer than she had been. "Apparently an African bush elephant is pregnant for 22 months!" she joked in one Instagram post.
"I fear that my body may have me confused with an elephant! It feels like I’ve been pregnant since 1942… Cherishing pjs, a bump and copious amounts of pineapple while I can."
In February she told how each day had brought 'new obstacles' because of her hormone sensitivity. "Some days I am met with loss of vision at several points during the day through ocular, hormone related migraines," Cath said. "I have had to pull over in my car and ride out vision loss, crying on my own till it passes…But baby needs those hormones to flourish. For me it’s an inconvenience- to her its staying alive."
She continued: "My pregnancy insomnia means that some days , I can barely get out of bed. I can’t ignore my body- it’s doing its thing. Yes it’s hard - but my daughter is strong and thriving. That is what matters the most."
