Elsie Hewitt, Pete Davidson’s girlfriend, is facing challenges during her pregnancy. The 29-year-old model, expecting her first child with the comedian, shared her struggles in a recent Instagram Stories video.
“I’m in absolute pain almost 24/7,” she stated, mentioning that this morning was particularly difficult.
Hewitt has tried several methods to alleviate the pain, like acupuncture, stretching, exercise, steroid injections, and energy healing, but none have offered relief.
“I would try anything at this point,” she told her million followers. “I’ve tried everything, but my symptoms keep getting worse. I can’t even walk.”
“It’s just so painful every day. Honestly, I don’t see how it could get any worse,” she added.
She also expressed her belief that endometriosis, a condition where tissue grows outside the uterus, is closely linked to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder she has.
“I turned to Instagram to connect with others who have been through pregnancy and birth with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Does the pain eventually go away? What can I expect?” Hewitt questioned, adding she longs for a bit of hope.
Prior to announcing her pregnancy in July, Hewitt had spoken about how her endometriosis impacted her fertility. “I was convinced I was infertile and would never have children,” she reflected. “Surgery was partly to address my symptoms and partly to preserve my chances of having a family one day.”
As the time of birth approaches, the “Dave” actress admitted feeling anxious. “I’m trying to prepare myself mentally and physically to have a baby, but I still can’t quite believe it,” she confessed.
Hewitt has praised Davidson for being supportive throughout her pregnancy, sharing, “He tells me to stop, rest, and calm down. He takes such good care of me.”
The couple, who were first spotted together in March, became Instagram official within three months and made their red carpet debut shortly thereafter.
