Unfortunately this will be my last pregnancy. I didn’t enjoy it. In the first few weeks when it was really bad, I kept thinking, ‘I’m supposed to enjoy this. This is my last pregnancy. Why is this happening? Is something wrong?'” she said.
‘I was convinced that it was [something wrong], so I constantly went to my doctor, but everything was fine. Only this time my body reacted differently to the pregnancy.’
Alex, 31, went on to say her relationship with Carson was “tainted because I was miserable and my partner was used to me being a very happy, go-getter.”

‘I was moody. I didn’t want anyone near me. I was so disconnected from myself and my family, even my sons,” she added.
The mother-of-two went on to advise other mothers to reach out and “ask for help” when they need it, as they can’t always be “superhuman.”
Alex has previously spoken about the symptoms she experienced during pregnancy, including nausea, heart palpitations, fainting, and anxiety.
In addition to the physical and mental toll, Alex told 9Honey that her difficult pregnancy has affected her relationship with her children and fiancé Carson Jory (left).
She said her third pregnancy was much more difficult than her first two, which she enjoyed.
When I found out I was pregnant with my third child, I was overjoyed. I truly felt the total bliss of growing a new little life and completing our family,” she recently wrote on Instagram.
She thought the “bliss would protect her” from any “physical and emotional symptoms” that might come her way, but soon found out she was wrong.
Unfortunately this will be my last pregnancy. I didn’t enjoy it,” she said
“Before I start, I just want to say that I know how lucky I am to be able to conceive, grow up, carry and bring my children into the world.
“I really, really know this and it hasn’t escaped my mind how lucky I am. To be honest, I found the first trimester of this pregnancy very hard.’
This will be Alex’s second child with Carson, Maxwell’s father. She shares Elijah with her ex-husband Joel Porter.
