From Pop Star To Mom
Jessica Simpson has transitioned from pop star to lifestyle mogul and mom, and her latest pregnancy has been a physical roller coaster.
Baby Number 3

Pregnancy Woes
Simpson has been documenting her pregnancy on Instagram, and one of her latest posts laid out the unfortunate reality of pregnancy pains.
After a month of sciatica pain, followed by 3 weeks of Bronchitis, I figured since my feet fit in my sneaks today
Swollen Feet
When Simpson says that she had swollen feet, she is NOT exaggerating. Pregnancy really changes a woman’s body from top to bottom.
Put Away Those Heels
Thankfully the painful swelling eventually went down. Simpson kept in good spirits, though, posting a hilarious comparison for the #tenyearchallenge.
Friendly Advice
Her Instagram followers found her posts super relatable and encouraged her to take care of herself during her pregnancy. They also shared their own pregnancy experiences, building a sort of community in her comment section.
See A Chiropractor
They offered suggestions for ways to deal with pregnancy-related issues, from essential oils to visiting a chiropractor. However, the most common suggestions were to keep up the walks while also getting plenty of rest.
Super Relatable
Simpson’s willingness to share the less glamorous aspects of pregnancy resonated with the women who follow her account and they were quick to point out how she made them feel seen and understood.
Pregnancy Glow
Congratulations to Simpson and Johnson as they welcome little Birdie in the coming months. Simpson’s feet are probably more than ready for the day to finally arrive.
