The news accompanied an album showing her nine months pregnant with her new baby, then with her two-year-old daughter Henley by her husband Doug Hehner.
‘I SWEAR I am way bigger this time, but I don’t know if you can see in these pics?’ dished the former Bachelor contestant.
‘Even with all the discomfort (Hemerrhroids are huge, back & hips are in constant pain, can’t sleep, pee all the time….) I’m still not “ready” for him to come!’ she wrote.
‘I never felt “ready” for Gracie either Does anyone ever feel *READY* for their baby to come?!!’ the reality star asked her followers.

Last week she wept openly in an Instagram video she filmed while sitting in the parking lot of the facility where she got her COVID-19 test.
She was worried that if she did have the illness she would have to be quarantined away from her newborn as her doctor advised.
Jamie was ‘genuinely so nervous’ about the result of the test which was administered via a nasal swab that ‘hurt really bad going up.’

She told her over 600,000 followers: ‘Then I was like, good God, if I can’t handle a swab going up my nose how am I going to handle an unmedicated childbirth?’
‘I’m so annoyed with myself for being such a wimp about this,’ she said, calling herself ‘silly’ for becoming so emotional.
She shared in a caption: ‘Honestly, I’m an RN and should be out there helping too but instead I’m safe inside. Which I justify with being pregnant but there are *so many* pregnant women going into the battle zone daily! They’re the real heroes!!!!’

Late last month after travel advisories were issued amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Jamie and her family continued to holiday in Florida.
The reality TV star came under fire on social media for her decision and issued an apology to her public on Instagram.
‘I want to send out a sincere apology to YOU bc by me going out to “live as normal as possible” I was risking YOU and YOUR FAMILY.’
