Joie Chavis is giving fans a glimpse into her pregnancy journey as she prepares to welcome her third child, a baby girl, with NFL star Trevon Diggs.
In a recent YouTube vlog, she expressed her excitement, saying, “We’re super excited for baby girl and I don’t know it’s like I’m feeling like I don’t want to have any more kids after this, but I kind of want to try for one more like a boy or a girl. I don’t know.”
While many assumed she was farther along, Joie revealed, “I am four months pregnant. I am going to be 5 months pregnant very soon. I just carry very heavy in [my] tummy because this is my third child and my stomach is already stretched twice.”
Like many expectant mothers, Joie hasn’t been spared from pregnancy woes. “I have like the spitting thing when I get pregnant. I guess it’s like a side effect or a symptom from the hyperemesis gravador,” she said.
“I’m just taking it day by day,” she continued. “I wasn’t able to travel much or do much in my first trimester because it was just so bad and I was super sick. But we’re super excited; our little bundle of joy is coming.”
As for the gender of their baby, it seems like Trevon had a slight misjudgment when looking at ultrasound images. “I know Trey thought it was a boy ’cause I showed him the pictures and he was like, ‘Yeah, look at my son…..’, Joie explained.
As for Joie’s intuition, it was spot on. “I just thought it was a girl from the time I knew I was pregnant for some reason ’cause of how sick I was and how my belly is, like, high,” she shared.
Joie Chavis is determined to embrace a healthier lifestyle during this pregnancy. “I’m really trying to make sure I stay hydrated and just motivate and push myself to get up and be active on the days that I feel like it. If I don’t, obviously, I’m just going to rest, but I’m really going to try to just do this pregnancy different and just stay more active and make healthier choices and not gain as much weight.”
With baby number three on the way, Chavid acknowledges the importance of self-care, especially at age 35. “Since I am 35, I don’t want to overdo it and then after I have the baby, it’ll be super hard for me to bounce back because it was super, super hard for me to bounce back with Hendrix and Shai.”
