Olivia Culpo is looking back at her first trimester.
The former Miss Universe, who is expecting her first baby with husband Christian McCaffrey, said she was practically benched in the early months of her pregnancy. As explained in a March 12 Instagram Story, “I couldn’t workout the first 4 months of my pregnancy (not even walking).”
But now that she’s further along, the 32-year-old is finally getting back into her exercise routine.
Sharing a gym selfie with fitness trainer Marissa West, Olivia—showing off her baby bump in black long-sleeved top and matching leggings—wrote in the caption of her post, “So we’re making it really count now.”
And it’s been a long road to pregnancy for Olivia. Having been diagnosed with endometriosis in 2020, she had concerns over her fertility when she started family planning with Christian.
“It could be really hard for me to have babies,” she shared in a 2022 episode of The Culpo Sisters, adding that there was a “looming timeline” due to her condition.
“There is so much that I don’t know about what’s going to happen in the future with that condition and I worry all the time about my timeline,” Olivia continued at the time. “I feel like I have to have kids ASAP.”
Olivia became pregnant last year, but didn’t announce the news until March 10. As her sister Sophia Culpo pointed out at the time, the model tried very hard to hide her growing belly before the big reveal.
“Now you all know why her nickname is Oblivia,” she quipped on Instagram Stories, sharing a Christmas photo of Olivia holding her dog Oliver in front of her stomach. “She ain’t stealth.”
And now, Olivia is glad that she can finally bare her bump. Following her pregnancy announcement, the mom-to-be posted a photo of her stomach stretching over her jeans and seatbelt as she sat inside a car.
“Excited to officially bump around,” Olivia wrote in the caption, “because this thing is really getting big.”
