Elsie Hewitt is struggling with her pregnancy.
Pete Davidson’s girlfriend revealed as much on her Instagram Story on Friday, telling followers she’s “been in pain since the very beginning and it’s just getting worse and worse.”

The model and the comedian announced their exciting news back in July with a series of photos including ultrasound previews and a cheeky caption that read, “welp now everyone knows we had sex.”
However, things quickly took a turn as she believes her battle with endometriosis is “heavily linked” to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder she’s currently facing. Elsie admitted in her Story post:
“I’m in absolute agony pretty much 24/7. This morning, it’s really bad.”
Poor girl.
The 29-year-old further explained she’s been trying to “manage the pain” with exercise, stretching, physical therapy, acupuncture, steroid shots, energy healing techniques, and more, but that the pain persists. She noted:
“At this point, if you can think of something that there is to do about the pain, I have tried it. I have tried everything, and it’s only getting worse and I cannot walk. I am just straight-up suffering and in so much pain every single day. I actually really don’t know how it could get worse than this.”
That’s so awful!
Now, she wants to get in touch with anyone else who “has been through pregnancy and birth with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome” to ask the following questions:
“Did your pain go away after? Does it get better? Am I gonna die? I just really want to feel a little bit of hope.”
What an unfortunate struggle for Elsie. We truly hope she finds relief soon and that she and the baby are okay. And that Pete is there for her every need!
Last month, Elsie sat down with People where she opened up about her decade-long battle with endometriosis which convinced her she was infertile:
“I was 100 percent convinced that I was infertile and not going to be able to have kids.”
However, she underwent a laparoscopy last November to try and preserve her odds:
“ I do think a big part of why I opted for the surgery was, obviously, first and foremost, my symptoms, but second, to preserve my fertility or try to get to a place where I could sustain the chances of having a family one day.”
She noted she’s “very grateful” that her life “ended up going that way” with Pete.
We hope Elsie finds relief! Our hearts are with her!
