She is expecting her third child with husband Jordan Banjo next month.
And Naomi Banjo took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a pregnancy update as her April due date approaches, sharing that she and the Diversity dancer are “so excited.”
The mom-to-be admitted that she’s recently been struggling with SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction), a condition that often affects pregnant women.
SPD can cause pain and discomfort in the pelvic area, lower abdomen, back, groin, perineum, thigh, and leg.
Naomi reached out to her 185,000 followers and asked for help and advice as she shared that she had been left “in agony” overnight in pain.
Pregnancy update: Jordan Banjo’s pregnant wife Naomi reached out to fans for advice on Wednesday with agonizing nighttime pains as she shared an update ahead of welcoming her third child.
The couple are already parents to children Cassius, four, and Mimi, three.
And sharing a sweet snap of her and Jordan in the post, Naomi shared that it was taken just days before they found out she was pregnant.
Admitting that the pregnancy has been the fastest of the three, the brunette questioned where the last eight months have gone.
She wrote: ‘I can’t believe we can say we are having a baby next month! That! where has the time gone! Probably the fastest pregnancy of my life. I remember this photo had no idea that in just a few days we would find out we were expecting our third baby!
‘And here we are… just over a month away. He feels magical and we are so excited! I’m so ready now! ❤️’
But adding that it hasn’t been easy to navigate, she detailed the agonizing pelvic pain she’s been experiencing for the past few weeks.
Continuing: ‘Though I’m madly tired from staying up all night with pelvic pain! Please someone give me some advice besides a pregnancy pillow etc. How do I support SPD overnight?
‘I’m in agony and it’s keeping me awake, any secret tips you can try would be greatly appreciated. PS, the hospital, the doctors, etc. they are aware and have given me strong meds but i am not interested in taking them. It makes me really sick and I’m a ‘just hang in there’ girl, but I’m struggling and now it’s getting to me.’
Coming soon: The couple is expecting their third child next month

SPD pain usually goes away a few months after giving birth, with mothers offering options to manage the pain rather than eliminate it.
When a woman is pregnant, the body produces a hormone called relaxin, which causes the ligaments in the joint between the left and right pelvic bones to be more relaxed, meaning you can move more and cause more pain.
Sports injuries can also cause this pain as the pelvic joints are affected during the accident.
Naomi and Jordan found out they were welcoming their third child in 2022 and shared the happy news with a sweet social media post.
And it seems there are no more children on the couple’s radar right now, as Jordan underwent a vasectomy last month.
Naomi filmed Jordan lovingly walking back to her car after the reversible a procedure, which cuts the tubes that carry a man’s sperm to prevent pregnancy.
Naomi was heard to chuckle as Jordan flashed what appeared to be a slightly forced smile before asking if she was alright, to which she nervously replied “yes.”
Asked by Naomi if he was sure everything was okay, he said ‘yes, positive’ before insisting the procedure wasn’t ‘bad’.
Laughing, he explained: ‘Pain is not the problem. The problem is when you’re so scared that you have a nipple instead of a penis between your legs and then the nurse tries to tape it to your stomach, but there’s not much to cover up, so she basically puts a piece of duct tape over it. .’
Looking a bit pained, Naomi then said, ‘You get in there, hun,’ as Jordan very carefully got out into the car.
Ouch: And it looks like there aren’t any more children on the couple’s radar right now, as Jordan underwent a vasectomy last month.
