Elizabeth Sobinoff has provided her fans with a pregnancy update.
The former Married At First Sight bride, 34, took to Instagram on Sunday to show off her huge baby bump while also lamenting on the often harsh reality of pregnancy.
‘I got dressed up to get Easter chocolate for the family and a frappe,’ she captioned the post, before adding: ‘I walked for 10 min and started cramping.
‘I wanted to feel remotely good,’ she said in the caption, along with a snap of her wearing a pink floral frock and a full face of makeup.
The reality star went on to say that she knew it would be ‘all worth it’ in the end.
‘Hormones you are MEAN,’ she wrote, adding: ‘That sliding door of excitement and joy but emotional energy sucking the life out of me.’
She posted a number of snaps in the photo dump, include a few selfies and some snaps with her daughter, whom she welcomed with husband Alex Vega in November 2023.
It comes after Lizzie revealed a recent debilitating health condition during her second pregnancy.
After first believing the problem was conjunctivitis, Lizzie said she was alarmed to learn from doctors her eyelid was infected by cold sores.
In her accompanying caption of the Instagram post, she said the condition could lead to serious issues.
‘The beginning of last week started off with knowing I was rundown but I was powering through,’ she said in the post.
‘Then as the week progressed, my eye swelled shut and I thought ”conjunctivitis” which I don’t think I’ve ever had before.
‘[A] doctor’s appointment and a swab later, I have cold sores in my eyelid and what looks to be a secondary infection, the swab didn’t indicate conjunctivitis.
‘Antibiotics and antivirals and rest is what I need.
‘Cold sores in the actual eye can be very serious and lead to very serious complications.
According to the NHS website, symptoms of a cold sore in the eye include pain, a swollen eyelid and blisters around the eye.
A viral infection, a cold sore in the eye is known as ‘eye herpes’ or ‘ocular herpes’ (herpes simplex virus-1, HSV-1).
If untreated it can lead to vision loss, scarring and corneal ulcers.
Lizzie announced her pregnancy in January.
The former MAFS bride, who appeared in seasons six and seven of the hit Australian series, is expecting a baby boy in April.
