Olivia Culpo was shed tears as she described many health issues she dealt with during her first pregnancy.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model, 32, and her husband, star Christian McCaffrey of 49ers, announced last week that they are expecting their first child.
In a video posted to Tiktok on Tuesday, Kalpo said she was on a break for several weeks after suffering from pneumonia, purges and a subkalionic hematoma that caused “severe bleeding” in the uterus.
“I had pneumonia and I was sick for two weeks. Overall, I was really on bed rest for four weeks. Towards the end of the two really sick weeks, I was basically a uterine thrombus and bleeding everywhere.
“So, at this point I was so exhausted, but for two weeks I couldn't move and just purged it all out of nowhere. It was a lot. It was heavy… I went to the doctor.
Calpo said she was nine weeks pregnant when she filmed the video on December 12th.

Calpo explained that after being checked out by the doctor, the baby was fine, unable to travel for a while and had to stay in the bed rest.
“I'm really grateful that everything is going well so far. So anyone with a sub-kalionic hematoma or SCH… I hope this video will be useful if you've experienced a lot of severe bleeding during your first pregnancy.
“…I can't even think about the devastation you feel like you've lost a baby at any stage. God, I can't even go there. I hope this will help someone feel alone.”
“I didn't expect this video to be that emotional. People who are experiencing every part of pregnancy feel like they are alone, getting news you don't want to get and not knowing why it's happening to you, I pray for everyone on their birth journey. I love you.”
