Heather started her message to her fans, saying, “Little pregnancy update, so, Tarek and I have been filming a lot and last day’s tomorrow before the break, so it will be a nice little rest for me, as I near the end (of the pregnancy).” She continued to reveal her recent issues, which have resurfaced, as she noted, “You know I told you guys my pain was gone. It went away for about five weeks, uhm, and Friday night, I started feeling a lot of back pain again.”

Heather also added that she confused it with regular back pain from the added weight but later started experiencing unpleasant nerve pain. She said, “I mean, like, lower back, and I thought, just lower, normal lower back pain from the grown belly and the weight and woke up this morning with pretty severe nerve pain again but on the right side this time.”



 

The reality star then told her followers that she has been having physical therapy sessions for the pain, adding, “So physical therapist just left, gonna start having her come once a week again.” Heather noted how hard it has gotten for her and that it is an emotional time for her. She said, “But, yeah, it’s pretty unbearable. It’s just, you know, emotional, it’s very hard.”

The star first felt sick in November 2022, when she revealed to her followers in an Instagram post that it was the first time she was ill during her pregnancy. She had said in the caption that she had “No appetite but (was) drinking coconut water, smoothies, juice and vegan soups.”
