A few weeks earlier, Nikki was emotionally distressed over the impending end of her pregnancy, as reported by E! Online. On one episode of “The Bellas Podcast,” she told her twin sister, Brie:
“I’m not gonna lie, I literally almost had my first massive breakdown—breakdown, whatever you want to call it—a few days ago.”
With the COVID-19 pandemic casting uncertainty about the future, the mother-to-be understandably became overwhelmed by anxiety. Also pregnant, Brie admitted to being distraught, too.
Nikki told Brie that she is feeling bad about “not being part of the world.” She also complained about not being able to go on walks. Brie comforted her emotional sister, saying that reaching the end of pregnancy is “always the toughest.”
Recently, Nikki noticed that their unborn baby seems to be following in his father’s footsteps.
A CHALLENGING TIME
Brie, who is pregnant with her second child with husband Daniel Bryan, agreed that giving birth during a pandemic is quite challenging.
There have been forecasts about another wave of COVID-19 potentially happening in the fall. The thought of this has been taking a toll on Brie.
As much as Brie wanted to live her life to the fullest, she said she would rather stay indoors and not risk her safety by going outside. As for Nikki, she said she is glad that Chigvintsev is always around to comfort her.
